Italian outlet Leggo reports Roma's interest in the 20-year-old Sweden international, who was identified by The Athletic last week as seeking an exit from Spurs. In Italy, Napoli and AC Milan had previously been named as options; Roma now represent a third Serie A suitor.
The structural problem is that Roma and Tottenham want different things. AS Roma would prefer to take Bergvall on loan, while Spurs are determined to sell permanently this summer. Tottenham's asking price is £45 million — a figure that effectively rules out a short-term arrangement and will test any Italian club's appetite.
Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have also been linked with Bergvall in recent days, making his situation one of the more widely discussed of the early summer window. The breadth of interest reflects both his quality and the unusual circumstances of a player seeking to move from a club where his contract runs until 2031.
Bergvall joined Tottenham from Swedish club Djurgårdens IF in the summer of 2024 for around €10 million and made 28 appearances in his first Premier League season, showing the technical composure that attracted attention from across Europe.
Koné's potential departure from Roma to fund the Mason Greenwood deal would create the vacancy Bergvall would fill. The sequence of deals makes Roma's interest logical, but the gap between a loan preference and Tottenham's permanent sale demand is the obstacle that needs resolving before any deal can move forward.
