Liverpool have suffered a massive blow in their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur midfield sensation Lucas Bergvall.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham have no intentions of sanctioning the departure of Lucas Bergvall amidst links with Liverpool. The North London club consider him an integral part of their long-term plans, and he is one of the last players they would look to cash in on.
Tottenham beat the likes of Barcelona back in 2024, when they struck a deal with Djurgarden to sign Bergvall for just £8.5 million. The 19-year-old midfielder has only gone from strength to strength since joining the North London club.
He has shown maturity beyond his years and has already established himself as a key figure in the team. He has been involved in 21 matches this term, racking up over 1,000 minutes already. He has started in half of their Premier League games and has featured in the starting XI in four out of their five Champions League outings.
Liverpool are keen on Bergvall
His impressive rise and consistent performances have caught the attention of Liverpool. The Merseyside club are looking at ways to reinforce their midfield and considers Bergvall an ideal fit for their project.
If reports are to be believed, they have already tabled a £52.5 million offer for the teenager, and Spurs have been considering whether to cash in on him or not.
Spurs won’t sell Bergvall anytime soon
However, the report from TEAMtalk suggests Spurs have no intentions of negotiating his departure. They consider him untouchable and claim that the Reds are preparing an offer or have already lodged one are falling on deaf ears in North London. The player is considered off limits with regard to any transfer in the near future.
Following his impressive rise, Tottenham handed him a new deal at the start of 2025. His contract now runs until 2031, which gives Spurs complete control over his future.
The North London club are quite confident that he will fulfil his potential and could end up becoming one of their mainstays. They are optimistic that he could develop into a £100 million player. While they could eventually look to cash in on him, an exit in the near future is very unlikely. As a result, Liverpool will have to look at other targets.
