Giovani Lo Celso Joins Real Betis from Tottenham

Giovani Lo Celso has made a permanent return to Real Betis from Tottenham Hotspur, signing a four-year contract for a fee reported at approximately €4-5 million. His move marks the end of a challenging stint at Spurs, where he struggled to secure a consistent starting position, despite making 24 appearances last season. The deal includes a sell-on clause and a 'priority option' for Tottenham to sign Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso. Lo Celso expressed gratitude to Tottenham fans and teammates in a farewell message, while several Spurs players paid tribute to him. The transfer was part of a busy summer for both clubs, with Tottenham welcoming new signings and Real Betis enhancing their squad with multiple additions. Ange Postecoglou confirmed that Lo Celso was not in his first-team plans, paving the way for the transfer.
