Report: ‘One of the best players in the world’ would jump at chance to swap Spurs for Barca in January

Giovani Lo Celso, a midfield player for Tottenham Hotspur, has been linked to a January transfer to Barcelona.

Additionally, the Spurs playmaker would seize the chance to switch from Tottenham to Barcelona in the upcoming weeks, per Mundo Deportivo.

As Lo Celso continues to struggle for playing time at Spurs, rumors about him and Camp Nou have been circulating for a few days.

The Tottenham player has played in just four games for the team this season, clocking in at just over 83 minutes.

Lo Celso, on the other hand, continues to play more games for Argentina. In 2023–24, he played 93 minutes for the current world champions.

Xavi is rumored to be searching for a replacement for Gavi, and since Lo Celso is back and ready to go, the Spurs player might be a good pick in January.

Lo Celso “would come to Barca with his eyes closed, on loan, with or without a purchase option,” according to Mundo Deportivo.

In addition, having played in La Liga for Real Betis and Villarreal, the Spurs player ought to be able to start right away should such a move take place.

Has Giovani Lo Celso had enough at Tottenham Hotspur?

To put it mildly, Lo Celso’s tenure at Tottenham hasn’t been easy. He still struggles to get into games and has been passed over by several coaches.

Nevertheless, Lo Celso has performed well for Argentina and in La Liga. Geronimo Rulli, the former teammate of the Spurs, once called the player “one of the best players in the world.”

Postecoglou did, in fact, give Lo Celso a chance during the preseason, but he was unfortunately set back by a hamstring injury. It made sense for the Spurs manager to hesitate before bringing him back.

But you can’t help but think that Lo Celso’s repeated failures to get noticed at Tottenham may have finally made him decide to give up.

Besides, it’s difficult to say no to a team like Barcelona.
