The Argentine midfielder narrowly signed with another Spanish club other than Submarino
The cunning of Villarreal CF and his sports direction was reflected in the signing of the midfielder Giovani Lo Celso. The Castellón club was ahead of several teams not only in LaLiga Santander but throughout Europe, which were behind the Argentine. Although they only got one loan, the player could become the property of the Yellow Submarine.
The footballer’s environment revealed that before the offer arrived from the club he directs Unai Emerythe Tottenham had very advanced negotiations with the Celtic RC. And it is that his coach Eduardo Coudet is one of the mentors and also the one who gave Lo Celso the opportunity to debut professionally, back in 2015 when he directed Rosario Central.
What happened to Celta and Lo Celso and why did you end up signing for Villarreal?
Although the negotiations between the London team and the Celtic team were advanced, there was a big obstacle that prevented the success of the operation. Apparently, the economic factor that was the reason why Tottenham will not grant the transfer of their midfielder. For Celta, the loan fee requested by the Spurs team was very high.
They asked for 1.5 kilos from England to give the player for 6 months in the form of a loan. For Carlos Mouriño, president of the Celt entity, it was a quite unaffordable expense, and less so for the time he was going to be in Balaídos. The representatives of the English club took advantage of the fact that they were in Spain, and Villarreal CF arrived at the right time.
This is how Lo Celso has done since he landed at Villarreal
On January 31 of this year, the Argentine midfielder was presented as a new Villarreal CF player. Since then, Lo Celso has played 4 games, totaling 232 minutes. 13 against Betis in the 0-2 victory. 87 in the tie with Real Madrid to zeros. 69 against Granada in the 1-4 win. and 63 in the rout of Espanyol 5-1.
In a more precise analysis, Villarreal with Lo Celso on board has not lost and on the contrary, has added 3 wins and 1 draw. The coach considers him to be a fundamental piece in his midfield and it is most likely that next season he will have him in his plans. For this reason, the Submarine has already begun to negotiate for the purchase of his pass.
