With the imminent departure of Nabil Fekir to Al-Jazira, Real Betis finds itself in urgent need of a creative midfielder who can fill the void left by the Frenchman. In this context, the name of Giovani Lo Celso has emerged as a prominent option, as reported by Matteo Moretto.

Betis is considering requesting the loan of the Argentine from Tottenham, a team where coach Ange Postecoglou has not used him in the early matches of the season. The player needs a change of scenery and has been linked with various clubs recently, such as Unai Emery's Aston Villa.

Lo Celso, the chosen one to replace Fekir

Lo Celso, 28, is under contract with Spurs until the summer of 2025, but his absence at the start of the season has raised doubts about his future. His contractual situation could enable a loan with an option to buy or a permanent transfer, but the issue lies in Tottenham demanding 30 million euros for his sale.

The player, who left PSG to join Betis in 2019, has showcased his quality in LaLiga, accumulating 45 matches with the Verdiblanco team and contributing with 16 goals and 6 assists. His return to Betis, where he made a positive impression in his previous loan spells, could be an ideal solution for Manuel Pellegrini, who trusts his ability to maintain creativity in the midfield.
