‘Not going anywhere: £55M Tottenham Star player set to leave as talks ongoing Daniel Levy reject bid
As the transfer window reaches its final hours, Tottenham Hotspur are anticipated to be one of the quieter Premier League clubs on deadline day. While many clubs scramble to finalize their rosters, Spurs have already completed the majority of their transfer business. However, there are still a few potential departures that could shape the final moments of their transfer strategy.
Tottenham Hotspur have been active in the transfer market this summer, securing key signings to strengthen their squad. Notable additions include Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert, and Yang Min-hyuk. These players were brought in to bolster various positions, giving manager Ange Postecoglou the depth and quality needed to compete on multiple fronts this season.
On the other hand, Spurs have also offloaded several players who were deemed surplus to requirements. High-profile departures include Tanguy Ndombele, Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp, and Emerson Royal. The club’s focus on clearing out the squad has been evident, as they aim to streamline their roster and ensure that only the most committed and capable players remain.
Giovani Lo Celso: Will He Stay or Go?
One of the most talked-about potential exits on deadline day is that of Giovani Lo Celso. The Argentine midfielder has had an uncertain future at Tottenham for several months. Lo Celso initially joined Spurs in 2019 on a loan deal that was later made permanent in a transaction reportedly worth up to £55 million. Despite his undeniable talent and flashes of brilliance, Lo Celso has struggled to consistently perform at the level expected of him in North London.
After spending loan spells at Villarreal, many expected Lo Celso to be sold during the summer transfer window. While Ange Postecoglou opted to retain him earlier in the window, it now appears likely that Lo Celso will depart before the deadline.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real Betis is in talks to sign Lo Celso, but negotiations have hit a snag. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has not accepted Betis’ current proposal, leaving the player’s future hanging in the balance as the clock ticks down.
Romano tweeted, “Real Betis are still in talks for Gio Lo Celso, negotiations are taking place. But, Tottenham are not accepting the current conditions of the deal.” This update suggests that while there is interest, an agreement is yet to be reached, and Lo Celso’s departure is far from certain.
Giovani Lo Celso isn’t the only Tottenham player who could be on the move as the transfer window closes. Spanish full-back Sergio Reguilon is also a candidate for a late exit. After spending the 2023/24 season on loan at Manchester United and Brentford, it has become clear that Reguilon does not feature in Tottenham’s long-term plans.
Besiktas have shown interest in signing Reguilon, and there is speculation that other clubs could also make a late move for the Spaniard before the deadline. Reguilon’s departure would further streamline Tottenham’s squad, as the club looks to focus on players who align with Postecoglou’s vision and tactics.
While Tottenham Hotspur may not be making any blockbuster signings on transfer deadline day, their focus on outgoings is just as crucial. The potential departures of Giovani Lo Celso and Sergio Reguilon could mark the final touches of a transfer window that has been characterized by smart, strategic moves.
As the transfer window closes at 11:00 pm, Spurs fans will be watching closely to see if these deals materialize. Whether or not these players leave, Tottenham’s summer business has set the stage for what could be an exciting and competitive season under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou.
