The Argentine soccer player wanted to return to work under the orders of Unai Emery
After the great second round that Lo Celso played for Villarreal CF, the yellow club made the decision to try to undertake his signing. A signing that a priori was going to be simple, because the footballer was not in Antonio Conte’s plans. In fact, he was left off the team’s preseason roster and has been working out on his own ever since, hoping to find a way out.
The player was clear that he wanted to return to Spanish football, where he has shown the best level first at Real Betis and then at Villarreal CF. But the yellow submarine has a big economic problem that prevents him, for the moment, from being able to undertake signings. At least of the level of Lo Celso, because to get the services of the player it will be necessary a significant financial outlay.
The main problem of Villarreal CF to sign Lo Celso
As we well know, Villarreal CF closed last season with losses that the institution could afford. However, given this situation, they need income before being able to undertake transfers. And for the moment the income does not arrive, since the players designated to leave the club this summer for the moment continue to work under the orders of Unai Emery. Something that has paralyzed the signings.
Danjuma rejected West Ham’s proposal, leaving Villarreal CF without a €45m income. In turn, there are no offers from Pau Torres, for whom it was expected to enter more than 50 million euros. Also, other players like Estupiñán do not finish leaving, so the transfer operation is completely stuck. And the main victims are Lo Celso and Cavani.
New competitor of Villarreal CF for Lo Celso
As if that were not enough, now the yellow submarine has run into a new problem to get hold of the Argentine midfielder. This problem is Napoli, which was the last to take an interest in Lo Celso, as they know that he is not part of Tottenham’s plans. And unlike Villarreal CF, the Italians could face an economic outlay of around 15 million euros.
However, and luckily for Villarreal CF, for the moment the footballer remains firm in his idea of playing again at the Estadio de la Cerámica. Of course, if the operation continues to drag on, it is possible that Lo Celso gets tired of waiting and ends up accepting Napoli’s proposal. That is why Villarreal CF must solve the operation that came from him as soon as possible.
