Barcelona are keen to pursue a deal for Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall, reportedly preparing a bid of €67 million for the talented midfielder who opted for a Premier League career over a move to Spain two years ago.
Bergvall joined Tottenham in 2024, despite Barcelona showing keen interest at the time.
Choosing to develop his career in England hasn't been straightforward, though, as his situation at the North London club has often been challenging.
Just last June, the player voiced his desire to leave due to a lack of playing time.
However, in September 2026, he signed a new contract with Tottenham.
Barcelona ready to make a move for Bergvall
The Catalans have not lost faith in the midfielder's abilities and are exploring the possibility of snapping him up in January.
It's understood that Barcelona could make a formal offer worth around €67 million.
As of now, no official bid has been made, and reports suggest that discussions between the clubs are yet to take place.
Other clubs, such as Napoli and Juventus, are also showing interest in the young Swede.
One potential route for Bergvall could be a loan move, which would afford him more opportunities to play.
Maddison's injury complicates transfer prospects
Despite the interest from European clubs, Tottenham currently have no urgent need to sell Bergvall.
A serious injury to James Maddison has limited the midfield options available to manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Selling another central midfielder now could create further complications in their squad.
This means even a €67 million offer might not be enough to convince Tottenham to part ways with Bergvall this winter.
Bergvall faces tough competition at Barcelona
Should he make the switch to Catalonia, the young midfielder would also have to contend with stiff competition for a starting spot.
At Barcelona, he would be vying for minutes against the likes of Pedri, Gavi, Rodri, Marc Bernal, and Frenkie de Jong.
Considering his previous unhappiness over limited game time at Tottenham, this factor could weigh heavily on his decision about where to play next.
Currently, Bergvall is on the road to recovery from a knee injury.
He is expected to be fit in time for the upcoming match against Leeds, and it is likely that Barcelona representatives will be keeping a close eye on his performances.
For now, Barcelona are merely assessing the feasibility of a transfer, and any final decision will hinge on Tottenham's stance, Bergvall's condition, and the prospect of him securing regular playing time.
