Villa may face competition for Felix’s signature after he spent last season on loan at Barcelona, who had seemingly not ruled out bringing him back, even if that hasn’t materialised yet.

The Portugal international has also spent time on loan at Chelsea, but will likely be a lot more expensive than someone like Lo Celso.

Exclusive: Aston Villa plan €60m bid for attacker transfer, €16m Tottenham misfit also being considered

Mark Brus — Sun, 11 Aug 2024 08:42:40 +0000

Aston Villa have made Joao Felix one of their top transfer targets for this summer, with Unai Emery determined to add the Portuguese forward to his options.

Villa may find this a difficult deal to get done, however, with Atletico Madrid likely to ask for huge money to sell the former Chelsea and Barcelona loanee, with Villa planning an offer worth around €60m to test their resolve, CaughtOffside understands.

Emery could make Felix a star player in his Villa side, though the 24-year-old surely has no long-term future at Atletico, where he’s largely seen as having failed to live up to his potential.

Felix also struggled to make much of an impact in loan spells at Chelsea and Barca, so it remains to be seen if Villa would really be well advised to keep pursuing him so strongly.

Joao Felix to Aston Villa?

Still, that is currently understood to be their plan, with the feeling being that Atletico may need to be flexible with their demands if they are realistically going to sell and finally get this unwanted player off their books.

Felix transfer may not be all Villa have planned

While Felix is one of Villa’s priorities, it seems the Midlands outfit also have one eye on Tottenham’s Giovani Lo Celso as a possible addition to come in as a squad player, sources have informed CaughtOffside.

The Argentine, who is also being tracked by Real Betis, is expected to be available for a cut-price fee of around €16m, and it remains to be seen if AVFC will step up their pursuit of him.

Lo Celso has struggled to impress at Spurs, so it makes sense that he’s now available on the market.

If Villa could land Felix as a starter and Lo Celso as squad depth, that could be truly superb business by the club as they look to build on last season’s success of finishing in the top four.

Fabrizio Romano says Premier League club “still keen” on 28-year-old Tottenham talent

Darren Looney — Sun, 11 Aug 2024 05:43:58 +0000

The future of Giovani Lo Celso at Tottenham is still to be decided before the transfer window shuts and it is being reported that Aston Villa remain interested in the Argentina star.

The 28-year-old was left out of Spurs’ squad for their pre-season clash with Bayern Munich on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which suggests that the North London club are working on the midfielder’s exit.

Tottenham are hoping to sell Lo Celso as the player’s contract expires in 2025, which makes this summer the ideal time to part ways.

There is not an abundance of concrete interest in the Argentina international, however, Real Betis and Aston Villa are still keen as other clubs are monitoring the situation, reports Fabrizio Romano.

Lo Celso joined Spurs permanently from Betis back in 2020 and a move back to Spain could benefit his career, while the midfielder played some of his best football at Villarreal under Unai Emery, who is now in charge at Villa.

It remains to be seen if one of the two clubs make a move for the 28-year-old before the window shuts, but they could get a good deal given Spurs’ eagerness to sell.

Will Tottenham’s Giovani Lo Celso move to Aston Villa?

Giovani Lo Celso’s time at Tottenham has been a failure

Lo Celso joined Tottenham on a permanent deal in 2020 as part of a €60m switch from Real Betis and it is a deal that has never worked out for the Premier League club or the player.

The Argentina star never cemented his place in the Spurs starting 11 under several managers the London club has seen come and go. Ange Postecoglu gave the 28-year-old a chance last season but it seems that the player has not done enough to convince the Australian coach.

A move is best for everyone during this current transfer window as Lo Celso deserves to be at a club that can get the most out of his talents.

Tottenham targeting Premier League midfielder in a £20m cash-plus-player deal

Ahad Shaukat — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 07:58:41 +0000

Tottenham are looking to add a midfielder to their squad this summer as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg edges closer to exit.

Spurs have already completed the signing of midfielder Archie Gray from Leeds United but they need another one to strengthen their midfield.

Ange Postecoglou is being backed by the club to make new signings this summer and along with addressing issues in the midfield, they are expected to add an attacking player to the squad as well.

According to South American outlet DirectTV Sports, Tottenham have decided to make a £20m cash-plus-player move to sign Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey.

The report has mentioned that the North Londoners will offer £20m in cash for Ramsey and also midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.

Spurs are prepared to offer Lo Celso as a makeweight in a transfer to get Ramsey since he has failed to get playing time under Postecoglou.

In order to balance their books after adding Ian Maatsen, Samuel Iling-Junior, Jaden Philogene, Enzo Barrenechea, Lewis Dobbin, Ross Barkley, and Cameron Archer this summer, Unai Emery’s team are currently looking to let go of players.

After joining Spurs in 2019, Lo Celso struggled to settle in the team and was sent out on loan to Villarreal twice.

He has played under current Villa manager Emery in La Liga and the Spanish manager got the best out of the Argentinian midfielder.

Tottenham are desperate to let Lo Celso leave the club

Lo Celso has one year left on his contract at Spurs and it is the best time for Tottenham to offload him this summer.

A move for Ramsey to Spurs and Lo Celso to Aston Villa makes sense for all the parties involved.

Both teams will get the player they want and the players will join the teams who can take their game to the next level.

Spurs can replace Hojberg while Aston Villa can get a new midfielder after losing Douglas Luiz to Juventus.

Video: Tottenham ace sets up extra-time goal for Inter Milan star in clash against Colombia

Eduardo Razo — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 04:06:13 +0000

Without Lionel Messi out on the pitch due to his injury, Argentina needed other players to step up, and Tottenham Hotspur’s Giovani Lo Celso stepped up to the occasion to generate a scoring chance in extra time.

After a scoreless 90 minutes, the 2024 Copa America final went to extra time. The first half of that period also did not have any goals, but it was Lo Celso who helped set up the go-ahead goal for Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martínez in the second half of the extra time period.

Even without Messi, this Argentina team has plenty of talent, and Martinez stepped up when he was needed to deliver the trophy.

It caps a fine season for him individually as he also won Serie A with his club Inter Milan.

Messi, meanwhile, still picked up a winners’ medal to celebrate 45 major honours in his incredible career.

Exclusive: Tottenham eyeing midfield duo as current player made available for transfer

Mark Brus — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 10:34:10 +0000

Tottenham are eyeing up Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgiy Sudakov and Fenerbahce midfielder Sebastian Szymanski this summer as Giovani Lo Celso could leave the club.

Sources with a close understanding of Spurs’ plans have informed CaughtOffside that Sudakov and Szymanski are high on the north London club’s list of targets in the midfield area, with Lo Celso expected to make way as he’s on the list of both Valencia and Real Betis.

Sudakov has long been on Tottenham’s radar, and CaughtOffside understands that Szymanski has also been scouted by Spurs recently, with the Poland international possibly set to be available for €25-30m.

Tottenham fans will no doubt be hoping to see more from their club in this summer’s market soon, with Ange Postecoglou in need of more options in his squad after a tricky first season in charge.

Sebastian Szymanski to Tottenham?

THFC will no doubt also need to sell if they are to buy the players they want this summer, so Lo Celso’s future could be an important factor to consider here.

Lo Celso makes sense as someone Tottenham will look to get rid of as he’s struggled to make an impact at the club, spending the last two seasons out on loan at Villarreal.

Fenerbahce are not keen to sell Szymanski, while Shakhtar are also known to be tough negotiators, so one imagines Sudakov won’t be the easiest target either.

Tottenham to use Giovani Lo Celso to land £50m Premier League ace

Darren Looney — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 15:07:55 +0000

Tottenham are ready to part ways with Giovani Lo Celso this summer and the North London outfit could use the Argentina star to land Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey.

The midfielder has one year remaining on his current Spurs contract and is one of the players the Premier League club are open to selling ahead of the new season.

Lo Celso has struggled to secure a permanent place in Tottenham’s starting team since joining the English outfit back in 2019 and has been sent out on loan twice to Villarreal throughout that period.

Ange Postecoglou gave the Argentine star a chance last season and he featured in 19 games for Tottenham, producing two goals and two assists.

However, Spurs are now ready to cash in on the 28-year-old and they could use him to secure the services of Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey, reports Football Insider.

Tottenham have been admirers of the 23-year-old for a while now and are ready to make a move.

Tottenham to use Giovani Lo Celso to land Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey

According to the report, Tottenham are in talks with Aston Villa over a three-player swap deal after making a new Jacob Ramsey proposal. The potential transfer being discussed would see Lo Celso head to Villa Park with Ramsey and one other unnamed player from Unai Emery’s squad going to Spurs.

Villa value the 23-year-old around the £50m mark and Spurs are offering players in a bid to reduce this asking price.

Lo Celso may be a player Emery is interested in having worked with the Argentine before at Villarreal. This is a transfer that could benefit both clubs but having lost Douglas Luiz already this summer, does the Aston Villa boss want to lose another one of his midfield stars ahead of the new season?

Tottenham could swap player Unai Emery knows well for Jacob Ramsey

Jason Pettigrove — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 05:49:06 +0000

Just over a week into the transfer window and the plans of various clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, are beginning to take shape.

Ever since his introduction into English football a year ago, Ange Postecoglou has appeared to have a clear idea of exactly what he wants in order to turn the Lilywhites into a real force domestically and, ideally, in the Champions League.

Tottenham offering Lo Celso and cash for Ramsey

Missing out on qualifying for the latter would surely have irked the Australian, particularly given that for long periods the North Londoners were comfortably inside the Premier League’s top four.

That will provide motivation for both manager and his players for the forthcoming campaign, and with pre-season having already begun for those players not selected for their countries for various competitions this summer, there’s no time to lose.

Giovani Lo Celso could leave Tottenham to join Aston Villa.

There’s also the small matter of player outgoings for two reasons; to give the manager more money to play with during the transfer window, and to rid the squad of what might be considered ‘dead wood.’

According to WhoScored, Giovani Lo Celso only managed 701 minutes under Postecoglou last season, and not once did he manage to complete 90 minutes.

Sky Sports note that the Argentinian is being offered to Aston Villa – who got into the UCL at Spurs’ expense – as a makeweight in Tottenham’s attempts to land highly-rated Jacob Ramsey.

Lo Celso is well known to Villa manager, Unai Emery, of course having played for him at Villarreal and Paris Saint-Germain, though the outlet suggest the Villains aren’t keen to part with their midfielder at this point.

Regardless of whether Spurs can eventually construct a deal that satisfies both Villa and Ramsey himself, it would seem that Lo Celso’s career in North London is over.

Premier League club rejects surprise Tottenham offer for midfielder

Mehdi Gokal — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 17:46:03 +0000

Aston Villa have rejected a player-plus-cash bid from Tottenham for Jacob Ramsey.

Tottenham are looking to bolster their midfield this summer and have been linked with several players, including Chelsea’s Connor Gallagher and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.

They are also looking to offload a few from their squad who are not in Ange’s future plans. Among them is Giovani Lo Celso. The Argentine midfielder has been linked with a move away this summer.

The club is keen on selling him, with recent reports suggesting that the player has been informed that he is free to find a new club.

Tottenham decided to keep the player at the club for the season, having impressed Ange in pre-season.

But the player could not establish himself as a regular, making only 4 league starts all season. He did make 22 appearances, contributing with 2 goals and 2 assists. Several clubs have shown interest in signing him, including Real Betis and Aston Villa.

Spurs have looked to capitalise on Villa’s interest in Lo Celso by making a player-plus-cash move for their star midfielder Jacob Ramsey.

According to Express & Star journalist Matt Maher, the club made a £20m bid plus Lo Celso offer for Ramsey. However, Aston Villa have swiftly rejected Tottenham’s offer. He adds that Villa have no interest in selling the 23-year-old.

He shared the update on X:

“Understand #avfc have rejected a player-plus-cash approach from Tottenham for Jacob Ramsey. Deal was £20million plus Giovani Lo Celso. Villa have no interest in selling Ramsey. Still seen as key part of Unai Emery’s squad.”

Exclusive: Aston Villa paying close attention to 28-year-old’s situation at Tottenham

Darren Looney — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 18:27:31 +0000

Giovani Lo Celso is expected to leave Tottenham during the summer transfer window with Aston Villa and several La Liga clubs monitoring the midfielder’s situation.

The Argentina star has been with Spurs since 2020 having moved to the Premier League from Real Betis, however, it is a transfer that has underwhelmed and with one year remaining on his contract at Tottenham, the 28-year-old is expected to be sold this summer.

Ange Postecoglou gave Lo Celso a chance this season as the former PSG star featured in 24 games for Spurs. The Argentine suffered from several injuries throughout the campaign but ultimately, the Australian coach does not see the player as essential heading into the 2024/25 campaign.

According to Matteo Moretto, Tottenham will sell Lo Celso this summer, with Aston Villa and several La Liga clubs interested in the Premier League midfielder.

The Argentina international would love to return to Spain, but it remains to be seen who makes an official move for the 28-year-old.

Writing in his latest exclusive column for CaughtOffside’s The Daily Briefing, Moretto has stated that Aston Villa could be a destination for Lo Celso having worked with Unai Emery successfully in the past at Villarreal.

It is uncertain if the Birmingham club will make a move, but the transfer journalist states that they are keeping a close eye on the Argentine’s situation.
