Reasons why Lucas Bergvall snubbed Barcelona for Tottenham Hotspur – report

Lucas Bergvall became the hottest topic on transfer deadline day, with Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur going tooth and nails to sign the Swedish whizkid.

Barcelona were on the verge of signing Bergvall during the last few days of the market, with the player even visiting the club’s sporting facilities.

But the youngster has ended up choosing Spurs at the last minute, though the Premier League giants are yet to put out an official statement.

Here’s why Bergvall joined Tottenham

A recent report from Matteo Moretto has offered a comprehensive update on the Bergavall transfer saga, revealing exactly why the player chose Spurs over Barça.

Moretto claims that Bergvall always had Barcelona in mind, but his family believed that a move to Tottenham was the right decision for his career.

In just 48 hours, Bergvall’s family went from talking about what it would be like to live in Barcelona to going to Tottenham.

This is especially because the player’s family wanted Bergvall to continue his career in England and live in London.

Almost a done deal for Barça

As mentioned earlier, Barcelona were very close to securing the services of Lucas Bergvall.

Moretto suggests that the Catalans had already reached an agreement regarding his contract. The board and Deco had also spoken to his family. It was practically a done deal.

Barcelona wanted to announce the signing on transfer deadline day. But, the player made a last-minute decision to switch to Tottenham.

Moretto adds that money had nothing to do with it, even though Tottenham were indeed offering Bergvall a much better salary compared to Barcelona. The decision was solely made by the player’s family.
