Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur could now reluctantly shift their ‘not for sale’ stance on Lucas Bergvall, but only under one condition, as clubs continue to circle with strong interest in securing his signature.Tottenham Hotspur have been flexing their financial muscle for most of the summer, but soon attention will turn to balancing the books. That will be achieved through sales, and Spurs have already begun to let go of a few players, attracting interest from other clubs.Alejo Veliz is the first departure from Tottenham, leaving for £7.7 million, while Luka Vuskovic could follow suit, with reports stating that Tottenham have reached a £50 million deal with Brighton for the sale of the youngster.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramTottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall could be sold despite stanceOther players from the Tottenham ranks are also attracting interest, including Lucas Bergvall. Clubs in the Premier League and across Europe are keen on securing his signature after the Swede asked to leave Tottenham.Spurs, however, do not want to lose Bergvall and have told suitors that the 20-year-old is not for sale. Roberto De Zerbi is said to rate the Sweden international highly, and Spurs have made it clear to Bergvall that he is staying put.Football Insider has now revealed that despite Tottenham’s stance, the addition of several new midfield signings could potentially lead to Bergvall’s exit. The Swedish starlet is said to be looking for a new challenge, with Football Insider adding that Tottenham will, in fact, let him leave for the right price this summer.Pete O’Rourke wrote: “Bergvall himself has indicated that he would like to leave Tottenham this summer for a new challenge.“Tottenham reluctantly would allow him to move on for the right offer, and they have obviously spent big in midfield with Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes on the verge of joining the club as well, so that would likely push Lucas Bergvall down the pecking order.“With this big transfer outlay, Spurs are going to have to balance the books, so selling somebody like Bergvall, who they will make a big profit on having signed him from Sweden, I think could be smart business.”Spurs face Lucas Bergvall decisionBergvall is understood to be seeking gametime in his preferred number eight position, but that looks very difficult to secure at Tottenham right now.The arrivals of both Tonali and Fernandes leave Bergvall competing with six players for a place in the centre of the pitch.Should he be sold, Tottenham are reported to be demanding a fee in the region of £50 million for the young Swede.READ MORE: Eli Junior Kroupi update as Bournemouth push ahead with a move for Alvaro RodriguezThe post ‘Spurs need to balance the books’ – Tottenham tipped to make £45m U-turn this summer appeared first on Spurs Web.
