Estadio Deportivo report Real Betis will only sign Giovani Lo Celso from Tottenham Hotspur if Spurs let him move as a free agent.
The Argentina international has less than a year left on his contract with the Premier League and is very much out of Ange Postecoglou’s plans. Claims earlier this week said Lo Celso felt the manager didn’t keep to his word last season when it came to chances given, and there’s been communication problems this summer too.
Real Betis and Aston Villa would only sign Lo Celso if he’s a free agent, and Tottenham are apparently refusing to make that happen. They obviously believe there’s still the chance of getting a transfer fee.
Regardless of that, it’s made clear the player ‘doesn’t want to go to Birmingham’, despite the best efforts of Unai Emery and Monchi at Aston Villa.
That’s nothing against Aston Villa specifically, Lo Celso wants to leave English football entirely, clearly a little bruised by his difficult period at Tottenham.
