In February 2024, Tottenham Hotspur won the race to sign Lucas Bergvall van Djurgardens – and they defeated Barcelona. It was a late bid from the Premier League side that saw them acquire the teenager -midfielder, and since his arrival he has settled as an important player.
In his mind, he justified the decision to sniff Barcelona in favor of moving to North Londen. And this opinion is also shared by Djurgardens Sporting Director Bosse Andersson, who confirmed the interest of the Catalans during an interview in the Talk Show of Carina Bergfelt, according to MD.
“Lucas is an interesting and talented football player. We had the privilege to discuss with one of the largest football clubs in Europe, Barcelona, who were interested. I think Barcelona was pretty surprised (to sign it), because you don't go to Barcelona to look, you go there to have Tapas and see if it is beautiful.
“I think they were very disappointed that he chose Tottenham. But the decision itself was the right one because he became an established Premier League player. All coaches and everyone talk about him as a fantastic player, and he just became 19.”
At the time there was a bit of disappointment in Barcelona for missing Bergvall, and although he settled as a Premier League level midfielder at the age of 19 at the age of 19, their own internal midfielders also played a major role. Marc Casado and Marc Bernal were both elevated to the first team last summer, and they impressed only three competitive matches before they entered an ACL injury, but he still made his mark, and Hansi Flick is eagerly waiting for his return, who should be at the beginning of the 2025-26 season.
