Real Betis are looking for a suitable replacement for Sergio Canales, who is about to join Rayados de Monterrey. Argentina international Giovani Lo Celso is reportedly at the top of the Andalusian club’s shortlist. However, there are difficulties for this operation to materialize, since Tottenham Hotspur, Lo Celso’s current club, is asking for 25 million euros for his transfer.
In accordance with ABC, the English team is also considering the option of a loan with a mandatory buyout clause. In addition to Real Betis, Napoli have also shown great interest in the talented Argentinian midfielder. It is even said that he is on the list of candidates for FC Barcelona, directed by Xavi.
Real Betis, who transferred Lo Celso to Tottenham for 48 million euros three years ago, currently does not have the resources to face an operation of this magnitude. Therefore, the chances for the Argentine to reach the Verdiblanco team lie in the fact that no club agrees to Tottenham’s demands and that, in the last days of the market, he can arrive on loan, since he is not part of the new coach’s plans. of the Spurs, Ante Postecoglou.
The verdiblancos have many options
Lo Celso maintains an excellent relationship with the Betis executives, as well as with various members of the technical secretariat. He is very attracted to the idea of returning to the Verdiblanco club, where they experienced their best season so far under Quique Setién, scoring 16 goals and providing 6 assists in 45 games.
On the other hand, Napoli are trying to secure the loan with option to buy Lo Celso, but are not willing to offer more than 15 million euros for a permanent transfer.
