Reports say Man Utd have contacted Tottenham about a possible move to sign Sweden midfielder Lucas Bergvall this summer.

The Red Devils have already completed deals for two midfielders, with Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos arriving from Aston Villa and Chelsea respectively.

But Man Utd are now aiming to add a third midfielder as they try to fully reshape Michael Carrick’s midfield before the season begins.

It had seemed that Ederson would be the third midfield signing this summer, but his move from Atalanta broke down because of medical problems.

Tottenham midfielder Bergvall, who found himself in and out of the team last season under three different managers, is expected to leave Spurs this summer and is now said to be drawing interest from Man Utd.

Fabrizio Romano recently said that Bergvall is “expected to leave” because he does not want to be on the bench at Tottenham after the signings of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

Romano said of the Sweden international: “Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham is expected to leave the club this summer. Bergvall told Tottenham that he wants to play on a regular basis, he’s ready to maybe take a different step.

“But leaving Tottenham this summer is something that he has to do, according to the player, because he wants to play. And at Tottenham, the feeling of the boy after signing Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali and they are not going to play European football, he doesn’t want to spend the season on bench or play ten minutes every two weeks.

“And so, for Bergvall, bid from Nottingham Forest and talks with Newcastle, both clubs are working for Lucas Bergvall. Both clubs are in contact, the highest proposal financially is from Nottingham Forest but Newcastle can offer a very competitive project and also ambitions, so there is a conversation ongoing with both clubs.

“Let’s see what Bergvall decides to do but for sure the situation of Lucas Bergvall is one to watch in the next days because he is expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur.”

There have been reports that Brighton are willing to match Tottenham’s £60m price tag for Bergvall, while Nottingham Forest are also interested.

However, a popular transfer account on X with more than 700k followers has revealed that Man Utd have made contact over a move for Bergvall.
