The failed signing of Lucas Bergvall has a lot to do with the strategy chosen by his agents to obtain the highest possible offer. As confirmed by ‘SPORT’, beyond the footballer’s supposed desire to play for Barça, His representatives took advantage of the Barça interest to ask for a higher commission for his signing.which amounted to around 20% of the total cost of the operation (10 million euros).
For Barça, the ideal was to sign the 17-year-old midfielder for an amount close to 8 kilos., an offer that the ‘spurs’ did not take long to improve. In the end, the Swede signed for five seasons, until June 2029 and will join the preseason under the orders of the Greek Ange Postecoglou in July. Meanwhile, he will continue playing with Djurgardens until the end of 2023/24.
The other key factor in Bergvall’s signing for Tottenham
In addition to the economic factor, another key factor in the Swedish player’s decision was the possibility of signing a contract with the first team. On the contrary, Barça offered him to sign for the reserve team, although the board promised him dynamics with the first team according to his performance.. This significantly affected the cost of the operation and the signing bonus, leaving more money in the coffers of Bergvall’s agents.
In this regard, Djurgardens sports director, Bo Anderson, revealed how the negotiation for the Swedish footballer was handled. “We calmly got to work with Tottenham while it took the media a long time to notice. The Spurs were impressed.”said the manager of the club where the midfielder has been playing since February 2023.
For his part, Deco, who was quick to notice the strategy of the boy’s representatives, made the club’s position clear. “He is a young player, one of those we follow. The good sign is that we are paying attention to the market. We have a line of action to bring players who want to come to Barça. If they don’t want to come, good luck with other projects.. We should not give more importance to this issue,” said the Barça sports director.
