Tottenham have rejected a £38m bid for Lucas Bergvall and are holding out for £50m

Tottenham Hotspur have rejected an opening bid of around £38 million from Nottingham Forest for Swedish international midfielder Lucas Bergvall. Roberto De Zerbi is at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The North London club are holding out for a package closer to £50 million before sanctioning any summer sale.
Despite the setback, Forest are reportedly preparing a swift, improved offer for the ‘unstoppable’ 20-year-old playmaker, who remains their top transfer target.

Forest’s pursuit of Bergvall follows the record £116 million sale of midfielder Elliot Anderson to Manchester City. With a historic upfront cash injection, head coach Oliver Glasner is eager to secure a replacement for Anderson. Given Bergvall’s high ceiling, the Tricky Trees have identified the Swedish starlet as the ideal marquee addition to anchor their long-term midfield plans.
For Bergvall, Forest’s interest comes amid growing frustration over his reduced role at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Roberto De Zerbi’s high-profile midfield additions—led by Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes—have left Bergvall’s camp concerned about his limited opportunities for regular game time in N17.
Having featured for Sweden at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, Bergvall has expressed his desire for a fresh start and regular first-team football.
Bergvall is under contract until June 2031, giving Spurs significant leverage in negotiations. While the club would prefer to keep the player, his desire to leave has put pressure on their stance. If Forest meet Tottenham’s £50 million valuation, Spurs are expected to reluctantly approve the transfer, freeing up additional funds for their own summer reinforcements.
