Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall’s representatives have reportedly offered him to Barcelona as they look for a way out of the Premier League club.

Bergvall could find it difficult to become a regular starter for Tottenham in the near future after they signed Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali during the summer transfer window.

Over the last two seasons, Bergvall has started 11 Premier League games in each, and his game time could easily decrease due to the new additions Spurs have made this summer.

Tottenham will likely want to keep Bergvall at the club heading into the new season due to his age and for squad depth reasons, but the young midfielder might have another idea.

There is undoubtedly interest in Bergvall this summer, and his agents are working on finding him a new club.

According to a report from Foot Mercato, the representatives of Tottenham midfielder Bergvall have held talks with Barcelona over a potential move to the La Liga club.

Unfortunately for the Swedish midfielder, Barcelona have no intention of reviving a deal for Bergvall after previously showing an interest back in 2024.

Bergvall’s representatives held talks with Barcelona’s sporting directors, led by Deco, and they are unwilling to reconsider signing him this summer.

Bergvall visited Barcelona in 2024 with his family, but Tottenham beat the La Liga giants to his signature due to offering more money.

A move to Barcelona doesn’t appear to be on the table, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if Bergvall headed through the exit door.

If Tottenham are going to continue their big spending in the summer transfer window, they need to ensure they offload some of their current stars.

Spurs have invested heavily in backing manager Roberto De Zerbi, but this does mean that some players will have to depart, with Tottenham well-stacked in the middle of the park.

• Sandro Tonali
• Mateus Fernandes
• Archie Gray
• Lucas Bergvall
• Rodrigo Bentancur
• Conor Gallagher
• Pape Matar Sarr
• James Maddison

It certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to see one or two midfielders leave due to the arrivals of Tonali and Fernandes.

Bergvall may be one who was sacrificed by the North London club, and they likely wouldn’t even need to bring in a replacement.

A WWE Superstar is currently being ‘punished’ by the company with the way that he is being booked.

That’s according to former WWE Head Writer Vince Russo, who believes that Dominik Mysterio is in the bad books of management following his actions after SummerSlam.

Following his loss to Danhausen on the opening night of the Premium Live Event, Dominik shared a tweet on X stating: “I’m only here so I don’t get fined.” Some saw this as a simple joke. Others, like Russo, believe this was a targeted message in response to the AAA Mega Champion’s treatment by WWE, suggesting, not all that implicitly, that he disagreed with his creative direction, but had to go along with it anyway.

​​​​​​​

Russo, who was speaking on a recent edition of ‘The Coach & Bro Show’, argued that Dominik’s loss on this morning’s edition of Raw was no simple booking decision and was actually intended to punish Dominik due to his social media activity.

Jonathan Coachman was in agreement with Russo, believing that the creative team did not want to admit Dominik had a reasonable argument and instead chose to teach him a lesson for acting out.

Russo pointed to Monday’s match, in which Dominik and JD McDonagh lost a tag team bout against Chad Gable and Penta, claiming the result lacked any sense: “Dominik got pinned in that match, guys. You could be a three-year-old… you would have known JD McDonagh was the guy to beat.”

WWE Accused of Being “Petty” Over Superstar’s Treatment

Believing this was a somewhat petty and vindictive way to treat one of WWE’s biggest names, Russo said that the better option would have been to have a private and professional discussion with Dominik backstage rather than give him a humiliating loss on live television in the hopes this would put him in his place.

Russo said: “They beat Dom with Danhausen, then he put out that tweet, then they beat him again… This is the pettiness. ‘No, Dom, you’re not going to do that… We’re going to give you a little slap on the knuckles.’ ‘Hey, Dom… if you had a problem with that on Sunday night, you should have spoke to somebody… Putting out that little meme maybe wasn’t the right thing to do.’”

Coachman then added to the criticism of the situation, saying he could imagine WWE creatives seeing the meme and rather than acknowledge a fair point may have been raised, they simply wanted to ‘”teach him a lesson.”

The pair highlighted just how quickly Dominik’s fortunes have switched as he has gone from pinning John Cena to losing versus Danhausen, and suffering tag team defeats, in less than a year.

Why Superstar is Unhappy With His Current Position on the Card

Dominik himself is reportedly unhappy with the way WWE have treated him of late. Despite being the reigning AAA Mega Champion, his career since defeating Cena has gone slightly left-field with a bizarre storyline between him and Danhausen playing out over the last few months.

A source close to Dominik, as reported by False Finish, claims that Dirty Dom belies he deserves a more prestigious role in WWE’s creative planning, particularly given the AAA Mega Championship he holds.

The source also revealed that Dominik believes WWE and AAA are demanding slightly different portrayals of him across the two outfits, leading to inconsistencies and confusion as to how his character should be perceived.

The 29 all-time highest goalscorers across Europe’s top five leagues have been revealed, with players from La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Premier League going head-to-head for over a century for a place among the greatest domestic marksmen in football history.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo dominate the standings, but the gap between the two icons at the top is far closer than many would expect, with just one goal separating them. Both superstars have every right to believe they belong in the conversation as the greatest players the beautiful game has ever produced.

Elsewhere, the ranking throws up plenty of surprising inclusions and omissions, with some legendary names missing out while others have earned their place among the elite. England’s all-time top goalscorer, Harry Kane, also features prominently among Europe’s most prolific marksmen.

29-21

Propping up the rest of the rankings is Edin Dzeko, whose spells with Manchester City, Roma and Inter Milan helped him reach 223 goals – just two fewer than Swedish icon Gunnar Nordahl and four short of Alfredo Di Stefano’s tally. The Real Madrid legend scored all but 11 of his 227 goals for the club, including in three Champions League finals, cementing his reputation as one of football’s greatest big-game players.

Mohamed Salah also features in 26th, while Thierry Henry’s superior tally may be enough to suggest his status as the Premier League’s greatest-ever player remains safe for now. Gary Lineker once named Hugo Sanchez as the best goalscorer he played alongside, and the Mexican icon sits 24th.

Gonzalo Higuain and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang occupy the next spots, despite their reputations taking a hit after difficult spells at Chelsea. However, both had previously enjoyed prolific periods elsewhere. Luis Suarez rounds out this section, with his roles in Liverpool’s SAS and Barcelona’s MSN attacks helping him remain one of the most feared forwards of his generation.

20-11

Kylian Mbappe, despite being just 27 years old, is already level with the aforementioned Suarez on 247 goals. The Frenchman is arguably only just entering his prime, meaning he still has plenty of time to climb into the top 10. He needs just three more goals to match Francesco Totti’s tally of 250, with the Roma hero widely regarded as one of the greatest one-club players in football history.

Telmo Zarra may not be a name familiar to many modern football fans, but his 15-year spell with Athletic Bilbao between 1940 and 1955 saw him score at an extraordinary rate, plundering 252 goals in just 277 appearances. However, his Spanish successor Raul remains far more recognisable, despite needing 616 games to score just four more goals than Zarra.

A revered figure at Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City, Sergio Aguero ranks 16th on the list, while Premier League all-time top scorer Alan Shearer sits 15th with 260 goals. Edinson Cavani (267), Klaus Fischer (268) and Silvio Piola (274) follow closely behind, while 2022 Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema narrowly misses out on a place in the top 10.

10-1

With 299 goals, Delio Onnis is the all-time top goalscorer in the history of Ligue 1 in France, and was the league’s top scorer on five occasions. He comes in at 10th, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Dixie Dean just ahead of the Argentine.

Harry Kane is seventh, but after recording one of the highest-scoring seasons in football history with his incredible 2025/26 campaign, he could easily find himself among the top five within the next season or two. Steve Bloomer’s tally of 314 is within touching distance, but a similarly-impressive season is needed to surpass Jimmy Greaves (357) and Gerd Muller (365).

In third place, unable to upset the Apple Cart, is Robert Lewandowski – who can still feel wronged by the fact he was denied a Ballon d’Or during the peak of his career. And, of course, the top two are Messi and Ronaldo, with the latter just one goal below the 2022 World Cup winner – despite the Real Madrid legend boasting the title of football’s all-time top goalscorer.
