Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso continues to be linked with a move away from the club this summer.
According to a report from Estádio Deportivo, Real Betis are keen on signing the 28-year-old attacking midfielder and they have held ‘informal contacts’ with the player’s agents. It will be interesting to see if they make contact with the North London club now.
Lo Celso is reportedly keen on the move. He is not a key starter for Tottenham and it would make sense for all parties to move on. Tottenham will be hoping to cash in on him and invest the proceeds from his departure on a new player.
Meanwhile, he has played for Real Betis in the past and he was a key performer for them. The opportunity to return to his former club will be an exciting option for the player as well.
The Argentine international was reportedly keen on a return to the Spanish club last summer, but Real Betis were not able to afford his wages. It seems that the Spanish outfit are now looking to get rid of William Carvalho and Nabil Fekir to lower their wage bill. It would allow them to sign the versatile midfielder this summer.
Lo Celso needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and Tottenham will not be able to provide him with that opportunity. Returning to La Liga would be ideal for the South American as well.
Furthermore, he has a contract with the North London club until 2025, and this is Tottenham’s final opportunity to cash in on him. They will not want to lose out on a free transfer, and therefore it makes sense for them to sell the player for a reasonable price this summer.
