Lucas Bergvall’s future is up in the air and the pulse of the ‘soap opera’ is at its limit. Barça had a very advanced agreement with the Swede and with Djurgarden, which is why the midfielder has been in Barcelona in the last few hours, but Tottenham are not giving up and Bergvall and his family have flown back to London. Right now, at Barça there is uncertainty because the definitive ‘yes’ has not yet occurred, but sources close to the negotiation remain optimistic.
Yesterday, SPORT announced that Bergvall was in Barcelona to give a definitive advance to his signing for Barça. The meeting was positive and optimism grew in the Barcelona club. However, the final green light for a transfer that with variables would amount to 12 million euros did not arrive at any time of the day. Not today either.
This Wednesday, Bergvall and his family have returned to London, which together with Tottenham’s strong interest in achieving his signing ‘in extremis’ are factors that worry Barça. At this time of night, the entity chaired by Joan Laporta is still waiting for the player’s final decision.
In the entire operation, there is one detail to take into account. Tottenham seeks to seduce Bergvall not only with a greater economic offer, but also with a direct place in the first team immediately, without having to wait until June as Barça would do. The problem for the Spurs is that the market in England closes tomorrow, Thursday, but, nevertheless, it is Friday when Bergvall turns 18. And the regulations do not allow such incorporation before the player is of legal age.
The soap opera has only a few hours left to live, but those that remain are the most decisive. Barça feels that it has done everything it should and is now in the hands of Bergvall. At the club they remain optimistic but emphasize that until it is signed anything can happen.
