Barring a surprise, Giovani Lo Celso will play the entire season with Tottenham in England. The Argentine was one of Xavi Hernández's favorite options to reinforce FC Barcelona's midfield, but the 'spurs' ruled out negotiating
The FC Barcelona has descartado completely the option of Giovani Celso for the wintry market. Although the injuries of Pedri and Frenkie of Jong have evidenciado the background fault of cupboard in the medullary, the Argentinian has gone out of the radar culé in front of the refusal of the Tottenham to negotiate by his cession. For the moment, the player of 27 alone years has seen action in a pair of parties by an injury in the thigh, but the technical Ange Postecoglu insists in having he for the rest of the season.
In this sense, Xavi Hernández loses to one of the alternatives that more interested him in what to mediocentros refers . The past season, the rosarino left a good image with the Villarreal and his performance in the Trophy Joan Gamper would have finished to convince to the egarense to bet by him like reinforcement, but finally the footballer formed in Central Rosary will remain in London, at least, until June of 2024.
The Tottenham only will listen offers by the traspaso of Celso
Waiting for the return of Gio to the action, in England the local press takes for granted that the only form in which the 'spurs' will leave to go out to the player in January will be through a traspaso. With agreement until June of 2025, Celso will have the possibility to negotiate with any team from January of this year, but still is missing a lot for this. The mediocentro is valued in 14 million euros in Transfermarkt and in London hardly will leave him go out by less than 20 'kilos'.
And it is that the Tottenham paid 32 million euros to the Betis in 2020 by his traspaso, a mount that the club expects to recover at least in a 50 % by means of his sale. For the Barça, the only form of ficharle was to loan, since the margin salarial culé does not give for a traspaso in these moments. For now, the Barcelona directive only contemplates the arrival of Vitor Roque in January like reinforcement for the second half of the 2023/24.
