Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on Tottenham midfielder GIovani Lo Celso’s expected move away.
The Argentine has been informed he is not part of Ange’s plans for the upcoming season, with the player now actively looking for a move away.
Lo Celso has struggled to make a significant mark at Spurs since joining the club. His time at the North London outfit has been marred by injuries and limited playing time, diminishing his impact on the field.
Last season, the Copa America winner made only four Premier League starts out of 22 appearances, contributing two goals and two assists.
With his contract approaching its final year, Spurs view the sale of Lo Celso as an opportunity to free up space and raise funds for new signings that better align with Postecoglou’s tactical vision.
He has been linked with several clubs, including a move back to Real Betis as well as a potential reunion with Unai Emery at Aston Villa.
In fact, it was recently reported that Spurs offered him as part of a player-plus-cash deal to for Jacob Ramsey but Villa rejected that offer.
However, they remain keen on signing him as confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Romano shared that Lo Celso’s absence from the squad against Bayern Munich was because he is expected to leave before the transfer window shuts. He named both Betis and Villa as two interested parties who are monitoring his situation.
Taking to X, he said:
“Giovani Lo Celso was not part of the Tottenham squad as he can still leave in the final 20 days. Real Betis and Aston Villa are interested and still keen with more clubs monitoring the situation.”

Whether the transfer takes place before the transfer window shuts remains to be seen but it is very likely that the midfielder will be sold this summer
