Spurs, it seems, have no intention whatsoever of letting him go.
According to Sky Sports, the north London club have given the Swedish midfielder a clear and direct message that he will not be permitted to leave this summer, regardless of his own wishes on the matter.
It emerged earlier in the window that Bergvall had indicated he felt he needed a fresh challenge elsewhere in order to continue his development as a player.
The 20-year-old was not among the preferred options in central midfield after Roberto De Zerbi's arrival as manager at Tottenham, and that is reportedly the main reason behind his desire to find a new club this summer.
Bergvall is said to be seeking regular first-team football in a central midfield role, something he feels he has been unable to guarantee for himself under the Italian at Tottenham of late.
Nottingham Forest have been credited with interest in the Sweden international as a result of his uncertain standing under De Zerbi at the club.
Despite that reported interest from the City Ground, Bergvall now looks set to remain in north London regardless of his own stated preference to move on this summer.
The Sweden international has a contract with Tottenham running until the summer of 2031, giving the club significant leverage over his immediate future.
That long-term deal means Spurs are under no financial pressure whatsoever to sanction a sale, even with their player reportedly unsettled behind the scenes at the club.
Tottenham's stance leaves Bergvall facing the prospect of fighting for his place under De Zerbi rather than securing the fresh start he had been hoping for elsewhere.
Whether that stance softens later in the window remains to be seen, but as things stand Tottenham are refusing to budge on their position.
For now, it appears Bergvall's search for a new challenge will have to wait, with Spurs standing firm on their prized young midfielder despite his stated desire to leave this summer.
