Tottenham Stand Firm on Lucas Bergvall Amid Liverpool Transfer Speculation

Reports suggesting Liverpool have submitted a £52.5 million bid for Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall have caught attention, but further clarity has emerged around Spurs’ unwavering stance on the Swedish prodigy — a position rooted in long-term strategy, strong internal faith, and a belief that his value could one day approach £100m.

Tottenham fought off intense competition from Barcelona to land Bergvall roughly two years ago, a deal widely viewed within the club as a significant triumph. Despite his young age, he was already regarded as an exceptional prospect with world-class potential, prompting Spurs to act decisively to secure his future in north London.

Since then, Bergvall’s importance within the squad has only grown. His influence has increased steadily, and his performances have attracted attention from clubs across Europe. A report from Spain recently claimed Liverpool had shown serious interest, even alleging the Reds had already put forward a €60m (£52.5m) offer, forcing Spurs to consider their options.
However, a deeper examination paints a very different picture. There is no confirmation that such a bid was ever made, nor any indication Liverpool are preparing to formalise an offer.

Sources close to Tottenham have been emphatic, describing Bergvall as among the very last players the club would contemplate selling.
Inside Spurs, suggestions that a £52.5m proposal could be entertained have been firmly brushed aside. Those familiar with the situation insist Bergvall is effectively untouchable, with Tottenham focused on building their future around him rather than seeking short-term financial gain.

That confidence is already reflected in his role on the pitch. Bergvall has started four of Tottenham’s five Champions League matches this season and has featured in the starting lineup for around half of their Premier League games — a strong indication of the coaching staff’s trust in him despite his youth.
It is his long-term development, however, that excites the club most. Internally, Tottenham believe Bergvall possesses all the qualities needed to become one of Europe’s top midfielders. That belief dates back to his 2024 move from Djurgården, a transfer worth just £8.5m that is now seen as exceptional value.

Spurs’ confidence in his commitment was strengthened further when Bergvall signed a contract extension last year, keeping him at the club until 2031. While there is an understanding that selling him may eventually become unavoidable, Tottenham are determined that any future decision happens on their terms — and at a price that truly reflects his worth.
Those close to the situation believe that if Bergvall reaches his potential at Spurs, he could ultimately command a £100m valuation. For now, the message from Tottenham is unequivocal: they are not open to selling, and Lucas Bergvall remains a cornerstone of their long-term plans.
