Transfer News: Villareal is set to buy Giovani Lo Celso permanently from Tottenham

Tottenham Transfer News: Giovani Lo Celso, a midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur, is supposedly on the verge of making a permanent move to Villarreal

Tottenham Transfer News: Giovani Lo Celso, a playmaker for Tottenham Hotspur who is wanted by La Liga giants Villarreal, is reportedly getting closer to making a permanent move to the club, as reported by a journalist from Spain named Xavi Jorquera Marquez. The national team player from Argentina spent the second part of the previous season on loan with the Yellow Submarine, and it is possible that he may sign a permanent contract with them now.

Giovani Lo Celso moved from Real Betis to Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window of 2019 on an initial loan agreement, which was converted into a permanent contract the following season. The 26-year-old player has not been able to establish himself as a starter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and was thus loaned out to the La Liga club Villarreal during the January transfer window in 2021.

Tottenham Transfer News: What’s the matter?

The Argentine playmaker helped his team, Yellow Submarine, get all the way to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. If he completes a transfer to Estadio de la Ceramico, Tottenham midfielder Lo Celso might play a position similar to the one he played for Villarreal under manager Unai Emery, who used Lo Celso mostly as a second striker or attacking midfielder for the club.

Lo Celso has recently returned to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Antonio Conte does not have him included in his plans for the team’s future, and the north London club is aiming to get rid of him this summer. According to Xavi Jorquera Marquez, Villarreal has made substantial headway in their pursuit of the midfielder.

Will the agreement take place?

The north London club places a value of twenty million euros on Lo Celso, and the Spanish club has emerged from their conversation with them feeling assured. Since the beginning of the previous month, it has been claimed that Villarreal and Tottenham have been in communication over his future, and it is possible that a decision will be made very soon.

The Yellow Submarine are displaying interest in Tanguy Ndombele in addition to their interest in Lo Celso, and the French player was a part of negotiations that took place between the two teams as well.

The two teams are presently considering all of their available options in regards to a potential trade involving Ndombele and Pervis Estupinan, which would result in Ndombele moving to Spain. As we approach closer to the beginning of the league season, a conversation on the two transfer transactions may be anticipated to take place soon. Tottenham is coming closer and closer to getting rid of two players whom they do not want on the team.
