Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso is reportedly on the verge of leaving White Hart Lane this summer. Real Betis, seeking to replace Nabil Fekir who is likely to depart, are eyeing a move for the Argentine playmaker.
Lo Celso joined Spurs in a €60 million deal following an impressive spell at Real Betis. The transfer was highly anticipated, positioning him as the creative successor to Eriksen. However, it hasn’t panned out as expected for either party, potentially signaling the end of his tenure at N17.
Having slipped down the pecking order at Tottenham, it appears Lo Celso’s days in a Spurs jersey may be numbered. Real Betis, keen on the 28-year-old, view him as an ideal replacement for Fekir, according to AS.
Despite successful loan stints away from Tottenham, Lo Celso has struggled to establish himself consistently, managing just 597 minutes across 24 appearances during the 2023–24 season. Frustrated by limited playing time, he is keen to depart North London this summer, especially with only a year remaining on his contract.
Tottenham is eager to secure a return on their investment rather than risk losing him for free next season. However, Betis’ financial constraints mean any potential deal hinges on their ability to offload Fekir, who commands the club’s highest salary.
Betis would need to restructure their wage bill to accommodate Lo Celso if they manage to sell Fekir, potentially clearing the way for the Argentine’s move.
