Newcastle United is pondering bringing back Giovani Lo Celso to the Premier League, as Real Betis might consider a strategic sale.
According to Fichajes, Giovani Lo Celso is a potential target for Newcastle United ahead of the January window. Real Betis might consider a strategic sale of the midfielder if they can receive a sum between €20-25 million for the Argentine star.
Newcastle United are expected to stay mildly active in the January window as Eddie Howe wants reinforcements to carry on the season in the second half. The Magpies are focused on bringing a new midfielder, who can step up in different roles within the system.
A host of names have been mentioned of late, with links to Conor Gallagher one of those making he rounds in media reports. The Atletico Madrid star could depart the Spanish side, although the Magpies may not be alone in the race.
Valencia’s Javi Guera is also a target, as Eddie Howe could see the vision in signing the young Spaniard in January, especially for the price he’s available at. There’s another midfielder from La Liga who could be made available for a fee between €20-25 million, as former Tottenham playmaker Giovani Lo Celso has now emerged as a target for Newcastle United.
Newcastle United could explore a move for the former Tottenham playmaker with a view to bringing someone with enough experience and knowledge of the Premier League. Much will depend on possible negotiations with his club, Real Betis, as the Spanish side could potentially consider a strategic sale.
Could Real Betis sell Giovani Lo Celso?
Real Betis are not flush with cash, and they could be alert to market interest in some of their players. The idea would be to sell some notable stars and use the cash from the sale to reinvest in key areas of the squad. While Lo Celso remains an important player for the club, the Argentine is not considered untouchable.
Hence, should Betis receive an offer in the region of €20-25 million, they could part ways with the former Tottenham playmaker. It remains to be seen whether these links to Newcastle United are concrete, and if the Premier League side makes an approach for the Argentine.
