Giovani Lo Celso is the name at the top of Barcelona wishlist heading into the January transfer window. This is with Xavi interested in the Tottenham Hotspur super star. That is according to a report from our sources which notes that the Spurs midfielder would be open to making the move to Catalonia. This is after struggling for minutes so far this season.
Sport reports that Barcelona wanted to sign Lo Celso in the summer transfer window. However, he remained at Tottenham. This is at the beginning of this campaign.
Barcelona could make things tick for Lo Celso
Lo Celso could have a bigger role to play for Tottenham in the coming weeks. James Maddison is unlikely to play for Tottenham again. This is ofcourse before the January transfer window opens. So that could mean that the Argentinian does see more game-time for Tottenham.
Lo Celso has impressed on international duty with Argentina. This is in this recent break. And perhaps the links with Barcelona will motivate him even more. This may benefit Spurs ultimately in the coming weeks.
He has the potential to be ‘incredible‘ player in the near future. But Barcelona will also be aware that they are going to have to make a pretty good offer. That is if they expect Tottenham to consider letting Lo Celso leave in the January transfer window.
Barcelona have reignited their interest in Lo Celso after losing Gavi to a serious injury in the international break. Spurs meanwhile, want to keep the 27-year-old for the 2nd half of the season.
But Xavi and Barcelona may not be ready to accept Tottenham’s stance. Sport is now reporting that Lo Celso is the Barca boss’ top target. This is for the middle of the park for the January window. His versatility makes him a particularly appealing option for any club.
