Chelsea FC have decided not to pursue Lucas Bergvall despite the Tottenham player's desire to leave. Standard Sport understands that Bergvall has informed Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi of his wish to change clubs due to a fear of limited first-team minutes.

What happened?

Chelsea FC explored a deal for Bergvall in January but were rejected by Spurs. The midfielder is currently at the 2026 World Cup with Sweden.

Why it matters for Chelsea FC

The Blues are expected to make multiple first-team signings during Xabi Alonso's first summer in charge. However, Bergvall will not be one of them.

What comes next?

Chelsea FC have also been linked with Atalanta defender Marco Palestra, but Standard Sport understands that no club-to-club talks have taken place. The future of Malo Gusto remains uncertain after left-back Marc Cucurella completed a move to Real Madrid worth up to £51.8million.
