Report: Serie A club have already agreed personal terms with Spurs star
According to La Nazione (05/08/22 – as relayed by Fiorentina.it and Sport Witness), Fiorentina have already reached an agreement with Giovani Lo Celso over personal terms but the Serie A club are yet to strike an agreement with Tottenham.
Over the last week or so, reports have indicated that Villarreal have stepped up their pursuit of Lo Celso on the back of the midfielder’s impressive loan spell at the club during the second half of last season.
Marca claimed last week that Unai Emery’s men have made an offer to sign the Argentine on an initial loan deal with an obligation to make it permanent for €15m (£12.5m).
Fabrizio Romano then claimed on Sunday that the La Liga club were ‘confident’ of getting a deal for the Spurs man over the line.
However, according to La Nazione’s latest update, Fiorentina ‘continues to keep alive the track that leads’ to Lo Celso. The report asserts that the Italian club remain ‘concrete and credible suitors’ for the Argentine.
It is asserted that the Viola have already reached an agreement with the player but are still not on the same page as Spurs, ‘especially on the bonuses to reach the required amount’.
La Nazione also add that while Villarreal are Fiorentina’s main competitor for Lo Celso, the Spanish club’s offer is ‘far from’ what Tottenham are demanding.

Despite this report by La Nazione, it appears at the moment like Villarreal are the front-runners to sign Lo Celso. The La Liga club might be waiting for some sales to go through to fund the operation for the Tottenham man. I suspect Lo Celso’s preference to return to El Madrigal has served as a big advantage to the La Liga club during the negotiations.
