Lyngby Boldklub is on the verge of signing a major reinforcement for the team. On Monday, the club reached an agreement with Barcelona to loan the club's third goalkeeper, Diego Kochen.

What's happening?

The agreement, which Tipsbladet reported on earlier on Tuesday, came about after Superliga newcomers had shown great interest in the 20-year-old American for several weeks.

The negotiations about Kochen's salary were, as Bold understands it, the big hurdle in the negotiations, but in the end, the parties found each other.

Why is it important for Lyngby Boldklub?

Additionally, Lyngby managed to get a purchase option included in the loan agreement, but it will be an expensive affair for the blue team if the Barcelona goalkeeper is to be signed permanently. | Purchase Option | Value | | --- | --- | | Diego Kochen | 1.2 million euros |

Lyngby completed its most expensive purchase to date in January when striker Asbjørn Bøndergaard was signed for 3.7 million kroner from Silkeborg.

What's next?

Therefore, the blue team will have to break the bank if Kochen's purchase option is to be exercised. In the first instance, the goalkeeper will arrive on a season-long loan deal when the last details - including the mandatory medical check - are finalized. Lyngby Boldklub is currently in 1st place in the 1st Division with 42 points, 12 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses in 22 games. | Position | Points | Wins | Draws | Losses | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1st place | 42 | 12 | 6 | 4 | Lyngby Boldklub has scored 49 goals and has a goal difference of +24.

Current situation

The club has a lead of 3 points over Hvidovre, which is in 2nd place. It's an exciting time for Lyngby Boldklub, and fans must keep an eye on whether the club can maintain its lead and promote to the Super League.
