When Tottenham Hotspur sent Giovani Lo Celso on loan to Villarreal, the north London club was hopeful that the Argentine could head to The Yellow Submarine and raise his stock, which he has done.
Lo Celso played a part in Villarreal reaching the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League, so there’s interest for the midfielder beginning with the La Liga club.
According to transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham wants around a €20-million fee to sell Lo Celso on a permanent deal this summer after his loan spell at Villarreal.
Romano adds that Villarreal is interested in the 26-year-old, with manager Unai Emery wanting him again; however, nothing has been agreed upon between clubs yet.
The Argentine midfielder made 22 appearances scoring one goal and one assist with Villarreal. Sevilla is reportedly another club in Spain looking to land Lo Celso, and with the working relationship with Tottenham, perhaps it’s a deal that can occur.
