Overview
- Tottenham have turned down an opening £38m offer from Nottingham Forest and a reported £46m bid from Newcastle, with clubs told the player is not for sale at current levels.
- Nottingham Forest are preparing an improved bid reported at about £45m as they target Bergvall to replace Elliot Anderson following Anderson’s £116m move to Manchester City.
- Tottenham value Bergvall at roughly £50m and say they would only sanction a sale if a bid meets that valuation, a stance backed by the player’s long contract to 2031.
- Lucas Bergvall has told Spurs he wants regular first‑team football and is open to leaving after reduced minutes under coach Roberto De Zerbi, which has driven suitors to test Tottenham’s resolve.
- The outcome will shape Tottenham’s wider transfer plan because the club has spent heavily on midfield recruits this summer and may use sales to balance spending while Forest weigh whether to meet Spurs’ price.
