Giovani Lo Celso request a transfer as Real Betis Set 75 M € Asking price for Spurs Target

Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso told the club that he wanted to leave despite Tottenham's interest. The club reacted by fixing the required fees.

The Spurs have been following Argentina for some time. They submitted an offer of around 53 million pounds sterling in May, which was rejected. However, despite ongoing discussions between the two parties, little progress has been made since, as Lo Celso's participation in Copa America delayed much of the serious negotiations.

However, according to the newspaper of Seville ABC, the midfielder has now issued a transfer request to continue his transfer to the Spurs.

In response, the Spaniards told Lo Celso that he would be allowed to leave the club if an offer of 75 million euros (or about 67 million pounds sterling) came into play. This sum would represent an increase £ 12 million of club record fees that the Lilywhites bombarded. for Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon this summer.

It is understood that the 23-year-old is not worried in Seville, but considers the need to progress, the participation of the Spurs in the Champions League being a key factor. Similarly, he would not stay at Benito Villamarin if this evaluation was not respected.

Betis boss Rubi recently commented on the club's transfer activities, saying Lo Celso should probably leave so the club can count on the services of Nabil Fekir, Liverpool's only target.

The tactician explained: "We all want new faces soon, but in the end we are also looking for economic benefits and it's not easy."

A flawless stay

And, referring to Lo Celso, he continued, "I know who has this intention or not. We are talking about a case in which the idea is very clear to leave. The others remain. "
