English media have reported that Jose Mourinho wants to bring Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso to Fenerbahce. The Portuguese coach is looking for reinforcements this summer, as Fenerbahce aim for the title in Turkey. Lo Celso making a good alternative for the Turkish club, as the player has lost the starting role at Tottenham.
We remember that Jose Mourinho trained Lo Celso during his time as Tottenham coach, between 2019 and 2021. "The Special One" knows the player very well and is convinced that Celso would be a valuable asset for his team. . The departures of Miguel Crespo, Rade Krunic and Miha Zajc from the Turkish club will give Fenerbahce the funds to swoop for Lo Celso, while the player's representatives are also thought to be positive about reaching a deal. Discussions between the player and the club are ongoing, and the Argentine relishes the idea of playing football again, per Jose Mourinho.
Lo Celso's contract expires in 10 months and Tottenham would never want to lose the player for nothing. Especially considering the fact that the London club paid a full 55 million pounds to bring the midfielder to the team from Real Betis, 5 years ago.
Last season, Lo Celso was active in 22 matches in the Premier League with Tottenham. However, the Argentine was the starter in only 4 of these challenges. Lo Celso also spent a loan period at Villarreal, but the Spanish club did not express interest in buying the player's card. Earlier, the midfielder was also linked with a transfer to Aston Villa, after coach Unai Emery expressed his sympathy for the Argentine. However, this is not expected to happen now that Villa have formalized the transfer of Ross Barkley, another attacking midfielder.
