Tottenham have issued a warning, stating they will only part ways with Giovani Lo Celso if a compelling offer is made.
The Argentine international has had a lot of success at the international stage in recent years but things haven’t worked out for him at club level. He did play an important part in Argentina’s triumph at Copa America but that is unlikely to help him get regular minutes at Tottenham. The North London club are ready to part ways with the utility man but according to a report from TyC Sports, Spurs have ‘warned’ that they will only sell Giovani Lo Celso if a good offer arrives.
He made the move to Tottenham in the summer of 2019. They forked out a significant fee to sign him on a season-long loan before making the move permanent in 2020. While he was expected to become an integral part of the first team, things haven’t gone according to plan for him at the London club. Lo Celso has struggled to get going and with just a year left on his deal, there has been a lot of talk about his future.
Last season, the 28-year-old was involved in just 24 matches, he racked up less than 600 minutes of first-team football. With his contract expiring, Spurs are ready to cash in on Lo Celso and there is interest from Aston Villa as well as Real Betis. Villa are already home to a few Argentine internationals Emiliano Martínez, Emiliano Buendía and Enzo Barrenechea while Betis is a club where he had a lot of success, even if it was just for a season.
While he is way down the pecking order under Ange Postecoglou who is ready to sanction his departure, Spurs have made it quite clear that they will allow Lo Celso to leave only if a good offer arrives on their doorstep. He will only leave London through a sale, a loan move is not an option.
