Giovani Lo Celso’s potential move away from Tottenham Hotspur in January is slowly becoming a frequent story in the Spanish media.
On Monday morning, we had already covered a report from Fichajes which said Barcelona could show up as an option for the midfielder.
Now it’s time for Catalan outlet Sport to say something similar, always highlighting that Lo Celso is having ‘no protagonism’ at Tottenham this season.
Their article claims that the Argentine player is one of the ‘big desires’ that Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has for his team.
It’s claimed that Lo Celso’s exit from Tottenham seems to ‘gain strength again’, as despite impressing in pre-season, he isn’t having big chances under Ange Postecoglou lately.
La Liga is pointed out as the ‘most likely’ destination for the midfielder, as besides Barcelona, his former club Real Betis are said to be interested in him as well.
Despite Xavi’s request, the Camp Nou side may have financial difficulties to get such a deal done, and that could lead them to try a bargain with Tottenham.
Lo Celso has 61 minutes for Spurs this season, and missed out on the last three Premier League fixtures due to injury.
