Tottenham reach decision on selling Lucas Bergvall to Liverpool as sources reveal truths on £52.5m ‘offer’

Amid eye-catching reports that Liverpool have tabled a £52.5 million offer for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall, fresh insight has emerged regarding Spurs’ firm position on the Swedish star — a stance shaped by long-term planning, internal belief, and a valuation that could eventually soar towards the £100m mark.

Tottenham famously beat off stiff competition from Barcelona to secure Bergvall’s signature around two years ago, a transfer widely regarded inside the club as a major coup. Even at such a young age, the midfielder was seen as a rare talent with elite-level potential, and Spurs moved swiftly to ensure his future lay in north London.

Since then, Bergvall’s stature within the squad has continued to rise. His influence has grown steadily with each passing month, and his performances have not gone unnoticed across Europe. According to a surprising report from Spain, Liverpool are said to have taken serious interest, with claims suggesting the Reds had already ‘offered’ €60m — approximately £52.5m — for the midfielder, leaving Tottenham to weigh up whether to cash in.

However, a closer look at those claims tells a very different story. There is no verification that any such bid has been submitted, nor is there evidence to suggest Liverpool are preparing to formalise an offer. On the contrary, sources close to Tottenham have been unequivocal in their response, stressing that Bergvall is viewed as “one of the last” players the club would even consider selling.

Any suggestion that Spurs are entertaining the idea of a £52.5m proposal has largely been dismissed within the club. Those familiar with the situation insist Bergvall is effectively off-limits, with Tottenham unmoved by outside interest and fully committed to building around him rather than profiting in the short term.

The trust placed in Bergvall is already evident on the pitch. He has started four of Tottenham’s five Champions League fixtures this season and has been named in the starting XI for roughly half of their Premier League matches — a clear indicator of how highly he is rated by the coaching staff despite his age.

Yet it is Bergvall’s long-term trajectory that excites club officials the most. Internally, Tottenham believe the Swedish international has all the attributes required to develop into one of Europe’s elite midfielders. That belief dates back to his arrival from Djurgården in 2024, a deal completed for just £8.5m that is now viewed as outstanding business.

Spurs’ confidence in Bergvall’s commitment was further reinforced when he agreed to a contract extension last year, tying his future to the club until 2031. While there is a realistic acceptance that Tottenham may one day be forced to consider selling, the club’s ambition is to ensure any future decision is made on their own terms — and at a price that reflects his true value.

Sources close to the situation believe that if Bergvall fulfils his immense potential in north London, he could eventually become a £100m asset. For now, however, Tottenham’s message is clear: they are not looking to sell, and Lucas Bergvall remains central to their long-term vision.
