Giovani Lo Celso’s lack of playing time at Tottenham Hotspur suddenly became a big reason to talk about his potential departure from the club in January.
On Tuesday, we covered reports from the Spanish and Argentine media saying the midfielder will have Real Betis as an option for the second half of the season.
Now as the Italian press talks about Lo Celso, TuttoMercatoWeb says it’s Napoli who could take him from Tottenham.
It’s said the Serie A side battle with Barcelona and Betis for the signing, after they all failed to get him on a loan deal in the summer.
Tottenham’s request for a permanent move is set to ‘decrease’ in January, and that should give those clubs a better chance of signing him.
Spurs demanded €15m for his transfer in the summer, according to the claims, and his contract expiring in 2025 should convince them to give a discount… well, that’s what the Italian media seem to believe.
Serie A champions Napoli and others are set to restart contacts soon, and with a loan with an option to buy still sounding unlikely, they should now come with bids for the permanent move.
