Tottenham reach ‘agreement in principle’ to sell player – Spurs should get deal over the line

Both Marca and ABC Sevilla are reporting Tottenham and Real Betis have come to an agreement for the transfer of Giovani Lo Celso.

The Seville club have long wanted to take the player back but developments this week, the failure to get Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid and seeing Nabil Fekir leaving, have meant a serious step forward for the Argentina international.

Marca report the two clubs are ‘currently finalising an agreement’. They state Betis advanced talks by offering €5m for 50% of Lo Celso (so Spurs would get 50% of a future sale), and future rights on Johnny Cardoso.

They believe that would see Tottenham being able to get him at a set price or receive a percentage if he went elsewhere, but the details from Marca are sketchy on that.

Over at ABC Sevilla they say there’s an ‘agreement in principle’ for Lo Celso to return to Betis for €5m, plus a preferential right on a future transfer of Cardoso.

Whilst the deal isn’t completed, it’s insisted there’s confidence at Betis that it will be.
