It could be difficult for Chelsea to get one player from Tottenham Hotspur, a rival team in London, this summer. If Tottenham is demoted from the Premier League this season—which is quite likely—they will not be in a good situation. Right now, they are in the bottom three. Relegation does not, however, imply that Spurs would start selling to Chelsea, one of their fiercest rivals.
During the January transfer window, Chelsea made an attempt to sign Lucas Bergvall, and they are still interested. Chelsea was reportedly so serious about bringing the midfield player to Stamford Bridge that they had actually drafted a contract for him. They could attempt to recruit Bergvall once more with a “creative” offer, according to CaughtOffside. Whatever the Blues come up with, though, might not be sufficient to sign the 20-year-old.
Several teams are keeping an eye on the 20-year-old Swedish midfielder, who is in great demand around Europe. He turned down Barcelona in favour of the Premier League in 2024, and since then, his quick growth has put him at the centre of Tottenham’s future ambitions and drawn interest from the best teams in Europe.
Chelsea plot summer move for unsellable Tottenham star
Bergvall is now deemed “unsellable” by Tottenham’s management, who see him as the foundation of their midfield for the ensuing five years. The club are not compelled to make a high-profile sale because of their solid financial structure, which is bolstered by new sponsorship agreements and a cleaned-up pay budget. However, rumours over his future have been stoked by the team’s league volatility and close proximity to the relegation zone. The likelihood of his departure might rise in the event of a tragic situation.
The market value of Bergvall has increased significantly. If Tottenham were to engage in negotiations, analysts predict that discussions would begin at about £50 million. His long-term deal, which expires in 2031, offers the club a lot of negotiating power.
Bergvall has a lot of promise, but if Chelsea wants to exploit Tottenham’s predicament, they should go for Micky van de Ven or Cristian Romero. Particularly in center defence, Chelsea needs experience rather than raw promise. Van de Ven or Romero would add it.
