AS Roma are looking at a deal for Tottenham midfielder Giovanni Lo Celso, if they sell Paulo Dybala to a club in Saudi Arabia’s Pro League.
That’s according to El Chiringuito and journalist Diego Plaza Casals, who say Lo Celso may have another option on the table as he looks to leave Tottenham.
Lo Celso has long been linked with a move away from Spurs, having struggled under several managers and continued that under Ange Postecoglou last season.
He’s now in the final year of his deal with the club so this is Tottenham’s last chance to make any money on him as he’ll be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with clubs in Europe from January for next summer.
So far there have been few options for him, with several reports making it clear that Real Betis are biding their time to try and get him at the end of the window, perhaps taking advantage of Tottenham’s desperation.
El Chiringuito now report that Roma want the Argentine midfielder as a potential replacement for Dybala, who is currently being linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
Tottenham are believed to want €15m for the midfielder, a fee Roma would surely be comfortable matching.
Aston Villa and Betis are also in the mix and interested, but the focus may now be on the Italians, if Dybala departs.
Reports in Turkey today said Fenerbahce are keen.
