Latest reports suggest that Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lucas Bergvall despite him signing a new contract.
Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week shared a welcome bit of news, confirming that Lucas Bergvall has put pen to paper on a new six-year deal, keeping him at Hotspur Way until 2031.
The 19-year-old midfielder has made a swift impression since arriving in North London and has not been shy about his ambitions.
Following his new deal, Bergvall spoke openly about his desire to win trophies with Tottenham, making it clear that he sees himself as part of the north London club’s future success.
With Ange Postecoglou’s side now just three wins away from European silverware, having reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, the Swede will no doubt be hoping his breakthrough campaign ends with something tangible to show for it.
Real Madrid eye future move for Tottenham star Lucas Bergvall
While Tottenham continue to rebuild and aim for sustained success, Real Madrid are a club where winning has long been the norm.
Their rich history and record in Europe often attract the very best, and Lucas Bergvall is now a name being quietly monitored.

According to a fresh report from GIVEMESPORT, the Spanish giants have not taken their eyes off the Swedish midfielder.
Although he has just signed a new contract at Tottenham, the suggestion is that Real Madrid still consider him one to watch for the future.
The report indicates that there are no plans from Bergvall’s end to push for a move this summer, nor do Madrid expect anything immediate.
However, the Spanish side remains keen on adding the most promising young players in world football to their squad, and Bergvall’s progress has not gone unnoticed in the Spanish capital.
Spurs must show ambition to keep Lucas Bergvall long-term
Since leaving Sweden, Bergvall has caught the eye with a series of mature displays in midfield, often competing for minutes with the likes of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr. His rise has been rapid, and it is clear he is well thought of within the Tottenham setup.
GIVEMESPORT has also stated that despite Madrid sniffing around, Bergvall is fully committed to Tottenham after earning his new contract.
The youngster is said to be focused on cementing his place in the Spurs side and has been pleased with the strides he has taken this season under Ange Postecoglou.
Although Real Madrid are always a threat when it comes to poaching elite-level prospects, the Lilywhites can retain Bergvall if they continue to build a project he believes in.
The player reportedly backs Tottenham’s recruitment vision and remains unfazed by their current mid-table position or concerns about European football next season.
Still, if the club wish to keep him away from Madrid’s clutches, long-term ambition will be vital.
