Tottenham Hotspur have made the decision to part ways with Giovani Lo Celso, informing the Argentine midfielder that he is no longer a part of their plans.
The club is willing to let him leave for a significantly reduced fee of £15 million, a fraction of the £60 million they paid to sign him from Real Betis in 2019.
Lo Celso’s time at Tottenham has been marked by inconsistency and a lack of opportunities to showcase his skills. Despite initial promise, he has struggled to make a lasting impact, scoring just 10 goals and providing 8 assists in 108 appearances.
Last season, he managed only four Premier League starts in his 22 appearances, contributing two goals and two assists.
The midfielder’s chances of regular play have been further diminished by the arrival of new midfield options, including Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, and Pape Matar Sarr.
Additionally, Lo Celso has been plagued by injuries, missing 12 games last season due to a three-month layoff.
With his contract set to expire in June 2025, Tottenham are keen to sell Lo Celso this summer rather than risk losing him for free next year. The club’s decision to let him go is likely to attract multiple offers from interested clubs, signaling the end of his tenure at Tottenham.
Lo Celso’s departure would bring an end to an era at the club, as he was one of their most expensive signings. However, it is clear that he has not lived up to expectations, and the club is willing to move on.
As the transfer window heats up, it remains to be seen where Lo Celso will end up next, but it is certain that his time at Tottenham is coming to a close.
