Tottenham Hotspur appear ready to allow Giovani Lo Celso to leave the club at the end of the season
Former Tottenham defender Alan Hatton says the 28-year-old Argentina international is not in the club’s long-term plans and the proceeds from his departure will be used to take the club to the “next level”
The money will be used to sign players who can do the same
Hatton believes the versatile midfielder has failed to establish himself as a regular at the north London club and is likely to move on in the summer
Although the player has impressed with his performances, it appears that he is yet to be signed
Coach Ange Postecoglou’s confidence He told his Football Insider:
He is in the team, leaves the team from time to time, and is loaned out again
“Personally I couldn’t stand it
I want to go somewhere where I know if I play at my level I can make the team
“To be honest, I don’t think that’s going to happen with Lo Celso at the moment
“If Ange wants to reinvest and bring in other players he believes can take Spurs to the next level, players like Lo Celso are likely to move on
” “It’s obvious that Tottenham’s fringe players like Lo Celso will leave this summer, so Ange will be able to invest in the team
” See where he goes at the end of the season That’s going to be interesting
He has been linked with a return to Spain and could be a quality addition to most clubs
The midfielder has reached the peak of his ability and should aim to play regularly
Tottenham won’t be able to offer him that chance and it makes sense for him to move
He will try to get his career back on track with regular football
Tottenham are currently pushing towards qualifying for the Champions League and will need a larger squad next year to accommodate the increased number of games
They will need to bring in a number of new players during the summer transfer window and selling peripheral players to increase their transfer budget could be a wise decision
Tottenham have begun negotiations with Giovani Lo Celso over a new contract
TMW say the Argentine is part of Tottenham’s future plans and talks to extend his contract, which expires in 2025, could begin soon
Tottenham could allow him to play two more seasons due to salary adjustments
Lo Celso has attracted the attention of Barcelona after spending last season on loan at Villarreal
However, Tottenham are on the move and their goal is to sign him soon
According to the report from Estadio Deportivo, Real Betis are keen on the idea of bringing Lo Celso back to the club.
Their report features quotes from sporting director Manu Fajardo, who suggests a return for Lo Celso is something Betis would be keen on.
“Giovani is a player who has already shown his worth here, who continues to do so when he goes with the Argentina national team and who is also complementary to Nabil Fekir. Being able to opt for players like Lo Celso or similar profiles does not have to imply the departure of Nabil,” he said.
In terms of Lo Celso’s future, a move away this summer could well be what’s needed.
The midfielder has made just the 19 appearances this season and only actually started games four times.
With a World Cup in 2026, Lo Celso is likely to want to be playing football and settled somewhere before then.
Tottenham, then, could do him a favour here by selling him.
