The 17-year-old central midfielder has established himself in Göteborg's first team this season, attracting attention from a group of European clubs monitoring his development.
According to Sportbladet, representatives from Freiburg travelled to watch Månsson during Wednesday evening's league fixture. Scouts from Manchester United, Roma, Leicester City and Watford were also reportedly present to assess the Sweden youth international.
The growing interest represents a significant development for a player who has made the step into regular senior football at a relatively young age. Månsson has started 12 consecutive matches for Göteborg, underlining his growing importance to the side.
The midfielder welcomed the attention but insisted that his immediate priority remains performing for his current club.
“It's great that the clubs are here. If they are watching me, it's confirmation that I've done well. But I'm concentrating on the here and now,” Månsson said.
His performances have placed him on the radar of clubs from several major European leagues, although there is no indication that a transfer is imminent.
Göteborg sporting director Jesper Jansson has confirmed the general interest in the teenager but said the club had not received any concrete approaches. Månsson remains under contract until the end of 2028, giving Göteborg a degree of security as they assess his longer-term future.
The presence of Manchester United and AS Roma scouts illustrates the range of clubs following his progress. SC Freiburg's interest is also notable, with the Bundesliga club continuing to assess young players who could develop into first-team options.
Leicester City and Watford are likewise reported to have sent representatives, suggesting that Månsson's performances have attracted attention beyond the continent's biggest leagues.
For Göteborg, retaining a promising young midfielder remains an important consideration as the club continues its domestic campaign. His contract situation means there is no immediate need to sell, while a growing list of interested clubs could increase competition should a transfer opportunity emerge.
Månsson's emergence also places him among the Swedish prospects attracting increased attention from overseas. Regular starts at 17 provide valuable experience, and the teenager's ability to maintain his place in the side has strengthened his reputation.
However, scouting activity does not necessarily mean negotiations are under way. Jansson's comments indicate that the current situation remains one of observation rather than formal transfer discussions.
The midfielder's immediate focus is therefore expected to remain on Göteborg, where he has an opportunity to continue developing through regular first-team football.
Whether the reported interest develops into formal approaches during the coming transfer windows remains to be seen. For now, Månsson's performances have ensured that several European clubs are keeping a close watch on his progress.
