Sport have revealed that Ange Postecoglou is yet to make a final decision on whether Giovani Lo Celso is part of his plans for the upcoming season.
The report primarily focuses on Barca’s pursuit of an attacking midfielder, revealing that the club have turned towards Lo Celso since a move for Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva appears ‘very difficult’.
However, it is explained that the Catalan giants have only made ‘timid approaches’ so far for the Argentine, who is continuing his pre-season preparations with Tottenham despite not knowing what the future holds for him.
Postecoglou is still scratching his head on Lo Celso
Sport claim that Postecoglou wants to continue taking a closer look at the 27-year-old over the coming weeks before making a decision on his future.
It is asserted that Barca are ‘still expectant’ and they believe that Lo Celso could be put on the market by Spurs towards the end of the transfer window.
The publication adds that Xavi Hernandez ‘likes’ the Tottenham man but his profile is not as appreciated by other members of the Camp Nou hierarchy.
Spurs Web Opinion
Lo Celso, in many ways, is the perfect cover/competition for James Maddison in the number eight role as he has all the attributes to thrive in that position. If the Argentine is willing to stay and fight for his place, I fully expect Postecoglou to hang on to him.
