Gio Lo Celso returns to Barça's 'radar' after Gavi's 'KO'

After confirming the 'KO' of Gavi, the one who will be at least eight months in the infirmary after suffering a complete break of the ligament crossed previous of the right knee and an injury associated to the external meniscus that will force him to go through the operating theatre in the next days, in the FC Barcelona have begun to tantear the posiblidad to go out to the market of wintry signings in research of a player that can 'fill' the gap of the Andalusian midfield player.

In the middle of all the rumours, the name of Giovani Celso has gone back to appear in the diary of the blaugrana, according to a recent information of the newspaper 'Sportive World'. Already it was an option that the club had valued during the past summer, because it had been a requirement of Xavi Hernández that it considers him like a 'jugón' that it can elevate substantially the level of his centre of the field. Now, they see him like a priority.

Celso, real option through a loan?

In the sportive area of the club, see to the international with Argentina like a profile that would adjust to the team and like a positive spare for Gavi during his injury, although they are conscious that it would not be a simple operation to assume because the Tottenham, as they have showed in the past, is a team with which is very difficult to negotiate. Especially when the Barça poses the incorporation of Celso in quality of loan until 30 June 2024.

It was an option that already was in the table of the blaugrana in the final stretch of the window of transfers estival, but that it was descartada from London. They closed the doors, without discussion, to the possibility that it left yielded and demanded a minimum price of 10 or 15 million euros to leave him go out. A mount that, obviously, from the City Condal were not in capacity to assume. The operation remained in the gaveta.

The factor to 'favour' of the Barça

In any case, from the Barça, if finally they decide to decant by the option of Celso, go to insist in the fact that the player is happening careless in the plans of Ange Postecoglou in this first stretch of the season. Although it was conditioned by some physical problems, in what it goes of season only has participated in four parties with the Tottenham, between Premier League and the Carabao Cup, with 83 minutes of action. Only it was to title against the Fulham, with 45' on the terrain of game.
