Lucas Bergvall, a 20-year-old Swedish midfielder from Tottenham, has been offered as a signing to FC Barcelona during this summer transfer window due to the possibility of leaving London. The deal would revolve around 60 million pounds, but Deco does not consider rekindling Barcelona's interest in the player.

Bergvall's camp is exploring different destinations after his sports situation changed at Tottenham. The English club has signed Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes this summer, two midfielders who increase competition for minutes in the 2026/27 season.

Lucas Bergvall is not in FC Barcelona's plans

FC Barcelona's response to the offer has been negative. The sports management has long considered the possibility of incorporating Lucas Bergvall closed and maintains a different roadmap to strengthen the midfield during the last weeks of the transfer market.

The main target remains Rodri Hernández. Barça has already made an initial proposal to Manchester City, although the English club demands around 75 million euros to negotiate the Spanish international's departure.

This further distances the possibility of investing around 60 million pounds in Bergvall. The Swedish player also has a contract with Tottenham until June 2031, after renewing his agreement in April 2025, so Spurs do not have an immediate contractual need to sell him.

The issue for the player is sports-related. Bergvall played 23 Premier League matches during the 2025/26 season, with one goal and three assists, and failed to establish himself as a consistent starter. The arrival of Tonali and Mateus Fernandes now increases competition in his position. Atlético de Madrid has also considered signing him this summer.

Barça was close to signing him in 2024

The situation brings Lucas Bergvall back to a scenario that almost materialized two years ago. Barcelona negotiated his signing when he was still with Djurgårdens, and the midfielder even traveled to Barcelona to see the club's facilities and meet with Deco.

Barça's proposal then was around 7 million euros, while Tottenham ended up paying around 10 million plus variables for the player. The Catalan club chose not to increase its offer, and Bergvall ultimately chose the Premier League.

The player himself later explained that he had doubts between both options before opting for London. His first season ended with 45 official matches and being part of the Tottenham team that won the Europa League in 2025, although an injury prevented him from playing in the semifinals and the final.

Possibilities for signing Bergvall

Two years later, the circumstances are different. Tottenham has reinforced its midfield, and several English teams have inquired about Bergvall during this summer, while Barça focuses its resources on a player with different characteristics.

Barça's priority continues to be Rodri, and any significant investment in the midfield will depend on negotiations with Manchester City. Therefore, barring a change in the sports planning, Lucas Bergvall will have to look for another destination if he eventually decides to leave Tottenham before the market closes.
