Newcastle Launch Massive Bid for Lucas Bergvall - Where Would This Deal Rank Among the Biggest Transfers in History?
Tottenham Hotspur have rejected a €55 million bid from Newcastle United for midfielder Lucas Bergvall. The 20-year-old Sweden international is expected to leave the north London club after two seasons. Despite Newcastle's offer exceeding Bergvall's market value of €35m, Spurs are seeking a higher fee, potentially over €60m.
Bergvall has made 78 appearances for Tottenham since joining from Djurgardens in 2024, featuring 33 times last season. He signed a new six-year contract in April last year, running until June 2031, giving Spurs no pressure to sell.
Newcastle, having recently sold Sandro Tonali to Spurs for €107m and with Anthony Gordon's €80m switch to Barcelona, have funds available for new signings. However, they face competition from Nottingham Forest, who are also interested in Bergvall as a potential replacement for Elliot Anderson, sold to Manchester City for €116m.
The market for central midfielders has been inflated by recent high-profile transfers, with Spurs looking to capitalize on this trend. Newcastle may need to improve their offer or consider alternative targets, but their significant spending power may complicate negotiations.
