Bergvall, 20, has grown frustrated at the lack of consistent starts in his preferred position as a number eight under Roberto De Zerbi and believes he has dropped too far down the pecking order to justify remaining at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a third season.
Tottenham have been informed of his desire to move on, and several clubs have already made contact to understand the situation, per The Athletic.
Bayern Munich's monitoring of Bergvall is directly connected to the departure of Leon Goretzka, whose contract at the Allianz Arena expires this month. The German champions need to address the vacancy the 31-year-old's exit creates, and Bergvall's profile as an energetic, technically accomplished progressive midfielder has caught the attention of the Bavarian club as they rebuild their squad.
Bergvall joined Tottenham from Djurgården in 2024 for around €20 million and made an immediate impact in his debut season, playing a key role in Spurs' Europa League triumph and being named the club's Player of the Season.
His second campaign was considerably more difficult. A series of managerial changes disrupted his progress, and Roberto De Zerbi's arrival — with the Italian favouring an established double pivot over the attacking eight role in which Bergvall thrives — has effectively settled his status.
With Tottenham now actively pursuing established midfielders including Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes of West Ham, Bergvall can see there is no clear route to regular starts. A loan is not under consideration — he wants a permanent move. Tottenham are expected to seek around £45 million.
Chelsea and Aston Villa had previously registered interest and been rebuffed, but Tottenham's stance has shifted now that Bergvall has made his position clear. Whether Bayern are prepared to match that valuation remains to be seen. Their deliberations will be complicated by parallel discussions with Tottenham over João Palhinha, with a loan arrangement from last season including a purchase option for the Portuguese midfielder at €30 million.
Both threads — Bergvall's exit and the Palhinha option — could intersect as Bayern and Tottenham negotiate across multiple fronts in the coming weeks. Bergvall, meanwhile, will focus on Sweden's World Cup campaign before turning his attention to the move he is determined to make.
