Barcelona is interested in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso ahead of the January transfer window.
Despite the fact that the summer transfer market has closed, Spanish source SPORT reports that Barcelona is still interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso in the forthcoming January transfer window.
According to reports, the Argentine did not leave Tottenham during the summer, but there is now rising anticipation about a January transfer window move. Spurs, on the other hand, want €15 million for his transfer.
Barcelona boss Xavi has expressed interest in the former Villarreal midfielder, seeing him as a great fit for his tactical plans.
Despite making a good impression on his boss, Ange Postecoglou, throughout preseason, Lo Celso has yet to start a Premier League match this season.
This season, James Maddison’s outstanding achievements for the Lilywhites have influenced the South American’s starting spot. The former Leicester City player has swiftly established himself, scoring twice and assisting four times in seven games this season.
Because of his limited playing time, there has been conjecture over his future, with a return to La Liga being explored.
Real Betis is currently developing as a formidable contender, but the Blaugrana are also in the running. So far this season, the midfielder has only played 63 minutes, owing mostly to injuries that have kept him out of Tottenham’s last three games.
Given these circumstances, the 27-year-old would be prudent to plan his future outside of North London.
If the offensive midfielder decides to go, La Liga appears to be the most likely destination, with Barcelona leading the pack. However, they would have to pay a significant amount of money to sign him.
On the deadline day this summer, Xavi’s side encountered difficulties in registering Atletico Madrid loanee Joao Felix. Given the limits imposed by financial fair play requirements, funding any move in January may be difficult.
