Laporta is currently planning the next season with Hansi Flick and Deco. The president of Barça, as usual, can't stop receiving offers, but the latest one has been especially surprising. We are talking about Lucas Bergvall, a Swedish midfielder who was on the verge of becoming a Barça player last summer. Everything was done, to the point that he was already in Barcelona city. However, at the last minute he rejected it to go to Tottenham.
Barça was surprised by his decision. Bergvall seemed delighted at the possibility of wearing the blaugrana jersey. The club had planned everything to the finest detail to have him in the first team. Even so, the figures offered to him by Tottenham were much higher. Months later, he now regrets it: He isn't happy in London and has asked Laporta for another chance.
Lucas Bergvall has hardly played in the Premier League, where he has only played 46 minutes spread over five games. He is sad and believes that he made the wrong decision. He's asking for a new opportunity, something that Laporta has directly conveyed to Hansi Flick. He's asking the German coach for his opinion to find out, in addition, if he would be interested in the player.
Hansi Flick Makes a Decision: Laporta Already Knows: Big No to Lucas Bergvall
Although Lucas Bergvall's offer has been taken into account, the reality is that Hansi Flick has rejected it. The coach believes that another midfielder is not needed and that he has more than enough with what's currently available. He couldn't give him the minutes he expects with the appearance of Marc Casadó and he wouldn't want to cut off Bernal's upward trend when he recovers from his injury.
Flick believes that the investment has to be made to reinforce other positions, not the central midfield, which is very well covered. Lucas Bergvall regrets it, but it's also true that Tottenham doesn't want to let him go yet. One possibility for the Swede would be to go out on loan in the winter market to earn minutes.
In any case, even though Flick has now rejected him, Lucas Bergvall is clear that he made a mistake in rejecting Barça because of money. He now regrets his move to Tottenham but he knows there's no turning back. Laporta already warned him and he didn't listen.
