When a giant enters the scene, you know what happens. The FC Barcelona has been interested in Giovani Lo Celso. A very tough competitor for Betis, who thinks about the return of the Argentine knowing that the operation would be very difficult, as a last-minute option on the market.
Who they want insistently in the culé club is Bernardo Silva, although its cost does not fall below 80 million euros. Barça would have to release 70 of the salary mass to make room for the Portuguese. Manchester City has its player and is not contemplating a transfer, reports Marca.
The possibilities revolve towards Lo Celso, a magnificent 27-year-old footballer, to Xavi’s liking and with whom an agreement would be easier. Tottenham would give it up. It would not be necessary to pay anything for the signing. Relations between both clubs are good. At Tottenham Lenglet ended up, who could continue in London. Barça is now involved in the signing of Oriol Romeu and hopes to sign a right-back soon.
Celso likes him a lot at Barça and he would be part of Xavi’s plans. Betis awaits its moment with the endorsement of the player and with the confidence that the market will not end up placing the playmaker. Then it would be possible to hire, as long as the wage bill has previously been released.
The connection between the Verdiblanco club and Lo Celso is very good. Both depart keep great memories of the last stage at Villamarín, in which Lo Celso scored 16 goals and 6 assists in 45 games. Nothing should be ruled out, although if teams like Barça enter the bid, everything will become very complicated.
