Tottenham’s midfield depth has been a talking point for much of the season, but fresh reporting suggests it may soon come under even greater scrutiny. According to TEAMTALK, Barcelona and Napoli are both monitoring Lucas Bergvall, while Spurs are also waiting for clarity on James Maddison after his latest injury setback.
It is a development that touches two important themes at once for Tottenham, squad planning and availability. Bergvall’s situation has carried intrigue for some time. The Sweden international was open to leaving during the summer window, before being persuaded to remain in north London. Since then, opportunities in the Premier League have been limited, with only two starts to his name.
That lack of regular involvement could become increasingly significant. Tottenham strengthened heavily in central areas over the summer, bringing in Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, and competition for places has intensified as both have made a positive impression in recent outings. With multiple options now available to Roberto De Zerbi, the route to consistent minutes for Bergvall looks far from straightforward.

Barcelona Interest Builds Around Bergvall
Barcelona’s long-standing admiration for Bergvall has resurfaced, while Napoli are also credited with interest. The Italian side are understood to be less advanced in their thinking, with any move described as difficult, particularly after the midfielder recently signed a new Tottenham contract. That naturally strengthens Spurs’ position and gives them control over any future decision.
Still, external attention is unlikely to disappear if playing time remains scarce. Bergvall is viewed as a player of high ceiling and technical quality, traits that fit the profile admired by elite European clubs. Tottenham may have little desire to entertain offers, but these situations can evolve quickly if a young player sees his pathway narrowing.
