TEAMtalk have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur have reached out to agents to help facilitate Giovani Lo Celso’s sale and that the club are open to using the midfielder in part-exchange offers for their transfer targets.
The report claims Tottenham are now ‘desperate’ to offload Lo Celso quickly this summer, with the silky left-footer appearing to have no long-term future at the club under Ange Postecoglou.
It is suggested that the Spurs head coach has seen enough of the Argentine and feels that he does not add to his squad in any meaningful way.
As a result, the Lilywhites have reportedly asked various intermediaries as well as Lo Celso’s agent to help find a new club for the player.
It is alleged that the possibility of using him as part of a deal to sign Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey has also been floated by the North London club.
Lo Ceslo’s preference is said to be a return to Spain, with his former club Real Betis hopeful of re-signing him.
However, the La Liga club still have a lot of work to do to strike a deal since they are only prepared to pay an £8m transfer fee for the midfielder while Tottenham are demanding around £12m.
Lo Celso is currently on international duty with Argentina at Copa America where they next face Peru in the early hours of Sunday morning (01:00 UK time).
The 28-year-old has been at Spurs since 2020 and has played 108 games for the club across all competions. His current deal runs until June 2025.
He was loaned out to Villarreal in the second half of 2021/22 and the whole 2022/23 campaign but has failed to break into Postecoglou’s plans upon his return to N17.

I get the feeling that Ange would not mind having Lo Celso around as a squad option as the Argentine is a decent fit for the Australian’s system.
I suspect that it is the midfielder who has made up his mind to leave in search of regular first-team football.
