Tottenham beat Barcelona to a bargain deal back in early 2024, and the La Liga giants are still licking their wounds over one year later.It is no secret that Tottenham hijacked Barcelona’s deal for Lucas Bergvall back in January of 2024, with the midfielder eventually arriving at North London from Djurgarden last summer.While he arrived with a big reputation, hardly anyone would have expected the midfielder to hit the ground running in the Premier League in the manner he has.Bergvall swept all of Tottenham’s end-of-season awards last season, and the teenager has made another bright start to the new campaign, playing a key role in Spurs’ win at the London Stadium on Saturday.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramLucas Bergvall had packed his bags for BarcelonaThe Swede’s impressive showing in the London derby is leading to consternation in Catalonia, with the print edition AS (as relayed by Sport Witness) discussing how close Barca came to landing the midfielder.The outlet says that Bergvall had ‘packed his bags’ to make a switch to the La Liga giants after they reached an agreement with Djurgarden.A deal worth €15m (£13m) including bonuses was agreed between the two clubs, only for Tottenham to enter in the final moments to snatch the youngster from Barcelona’s clutches.Tottenham man played a role in changing Bergvall’s mindAccording to AS, the midfielder’s compatriot Dejan Kulusevski played a key role in convincing the player to come to N17.Kulusevski and a delegation from North London persuaded Bergvall that a move to Tottenham would be ideal for his development, and they succeeded, much to Barca’s dismay.The outlet predicts that the 19-year-old is on his way to becoming an important player for the Europa League champions and adds that Barca still seems disappointed at missing out on him.READ MORE: Tottenham star accused of being confused about his ‘awkward’ role against West HamThe post Barcelona are still gutted about losing player to Tottenham, and it gets worse by the week appeared first on Spurs Web.
