It’s no secret that Giovani Lo Celso is without doubt one of the Undesirable™ at Tottenham Hotspur below Antonio Conte. Since Conte’s arrival the Argentine attacking midfielder has been marginalized, loaned to Villarreal, and left at residence when Spurs went on their preseason tour to Korea.

His Villarreal mortgage was a profitable one and it was assumed that the Yellow Submarine could be GLC’s main suitor as Spurs attempt to offload him this summer season. However now it seems like there’s curiosity from one other membership, who have been linked with Gio within the final switch window. In accordance with Gary Jacob writing in The Occasions (£), Fiorentina has re-entered the chat negotiations, and are trying to work out a mortgage deal that would end in an eventual everlasting transfer.

Fiorentina have revised their provide to signal Giovani Lo Celso on mortgage with a view to a everlasting deal of £15 million. Tottenham Hotspur, who wish to promote the Argentina midfielder, rejected the preliminary provide of a mortgage. Villarreal wish to re-sign Lo Celso on a everlasting deal however haven’t matched the valuation of about £20 million.

You may recall that Fiorentina was reportedly in negotiations with Spurs again in January to take Gio on mortgage, however he finally ended up at a Villarreal facet that made it to the Champions League semifinals. Seems like they haven’t given up fairly but.

The primary challenge with each Fiorentina and Villarreal is that neither of them are providing what Tottenham needs — a everlasting switch of £20m. We’ve recognized that about Villarreal for some time now. However Jacob makes it sound as if Fiorentina is hoping that the inclusion of a £15m buy choice may make a deal extra palatable. It’s not clear whether or not “a view to a everlasting deal” means a purchase order obligation, or an choice, nor do we all know what the small print are and whether or not these could be acceptable to Spurs. We additionally don’t know whether or not Fiorentina could be an appropriate vacation spot for Gio or if he prefers to return to Villarreal.

However we do know that Fabio Paratici is in Italy attempting to hammer out agreements to dump not solely Gio, but additionally Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Winks, Sergio Reguilon, and Joe Rodon. This rumor is a small ahead motion in a optimistic path. We’ll need to see whether or not something comes of it.
