Giovani Lo Celso’s long-term future surely lies far away from Tottenham, even if he didn’t get a permanent transfer this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Writing in the latest edition of his exclusive CaughtOffside column on Substack, Romano expressed his opinion that Lo Celso would surely not be in Spurs’ long-term plans after leaving on loan to Villarreal again this season.
Lo Celso has shone in his time in La Liga, but it has never quite happened to him at Tottenham, so it makes sense that he will likely end up moving elsewhere permanently at some point in the near future.
In terms of this summer, Romano says the Spurs’ asking price was too high for a permanent deal at the time.
“I hope Giovani Lo Celso’s future is far from Tottenham,” Romano said.

“His price tag of around €20-25m prevented Villarreal from signing him permanently this summer, but they love him and he’s a key player since he came back on loan.
“As of now, there are no talks with Tottenham and the player also wants to focus on the World Cup.”
Tottenham fans will no doubt be disappointed that things never worked out for the Argentine playmaker in north London, but it seems better for all concerned if they leave soon, and he shouldn’t be short of suitors after showing what he can do in Spain. . .
