Tottenham Hotspur offered Lucas Bergvall significant wages to lure him to the club amidst interest from Barcelona.
During the January transfer window, the North London team was able to sign Swedish sensation Lucas Bergvall. The summer will see the young midfielder join the Premier League team.
Despite a lot of attention from teams throughout Europe, Spurs were able to come to an agreement with Djurgården, and Fotboll Direkt claims that Tottenham paid the adolescent a hefty salary to make sure they would win his pursuit.
Much attention had been drawn to Bergvall by his remarkable rise at Brommapojkarna and his performances after moving to Djurgården. Among the teams eager to have him join their ranks was Barcelona. The Swedish wonder, a big prospect, was pushed hard to sign by the Catalan giants. However, they were defeated by the North London club.
Although Peter Kisfaludy, an official from Djurgården, has maintained that the player did not choose Spurs over Barcelona because of money, the news published by Fotboll Direkt has brought attention to the fact that Tottenham has demonstrated their financial might to acquire him for the cubs.
The English team will pay the eighteen-year-old a substantial salary. Although it was previously stated that he would make SEK 18 million (about €1.5 million) annually, the real sum is rather more. In reality, Bergvall will make SEK 22 million (about €1.8 million) a year.
Although it may not seem like much by Premier League standards, it is undoubtedly a significant salary for someone from the Swedish league. Even though the adolescent’s decision may not have been driven by money, Spurs’ offer undoubtedly assisted in luring him to the team.
