Betis Expresses Interest in Bringing Back Giovani Lo Celso from Tottenham
Since his multi-million euro transfer to Tottenham, Betis has consistently been mentioned as a possible destination for Giovani Lo Celso every summer. The talented Argentine midfielder left a lasting impression during his season at Benito Villamarin and has always maintained communication with the club. However, this time, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, the Verdiblancos have taken a step further by informing Spurs of their interest in re-signing the player.
Lo Celso, 27 years old, spent the 2018-19 season at Betis, initially on loan from PSG, before the club exercised their option to buy. After that single year with the club, he was loaned to Tottenham with a significant loan fee and an option to buy for over 40 million euros, which the English club eventually activated to secure the player’s permanent transfer.
The Argentine did not quite settle in the Premier League and was loaned to Villarreal during the winter transfer window of the 2021-22 season. Betis attempted to enter the race to bring back Lo Celso the following summer, but their financial limitations prevented it, and he returned to La Ceramica once again. Now, with two years left on his contract with Tottenham, a new opportunity arises for Gio to don the green and white jersey once more.
Betis is not the only club interested in Lo Celso, and they know that the longer he remains without moving to any of his rivals in this pursuit, the better their chances are of securing his loan. The salary cap continues to be their main obstacle, which is why the club’s Sporting Director, Ramon Planes, is working intensively to offload several players and make some significant transfers that would allow them to register players like Bellerin, Marc Roca, and Collado… and make a strong push for Lo Celso.
The Betis faithful eagerly await the outcome of these negotiations, hoping to see their beloved Argentine midfielder back in the green and white colors once again.

Betis makes move to bring back Lo Celso from Tottenham
Betis has expressed their interest in re-signing Giovani Lo Celso from Tottenham, according to reports.

Now, it seems they have taken a step forward by informing Spurs of their desire to bring him back.
Lo Celso joined Betis on loan from PSG before the club exercised their option to buy. However, after just one year, he was loaned to Tottenham with an option to buy, which was eventually triggered by the English club. Despite the move, the 27-year-old has struggled to settle in the Premier League and was loaned to Villarreal in the 2021-22 season.
Betis attempted to re-sign Lo Celso the following summer but were unable to due to financial limitations. Now, with two years left on his contract at Tottenham, the Spanish club sees an opportunity to bring him back. However, they face competition from other clubs who are also interested in the midfielder.
