Mundo Deportivo have revealed that Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez prefers to sign someone like Giovani Lo Celso over Neymar.
Lo Celso has been one of Tottenham’s best performers in pre-season and has earned the praise of Ange Postecoglou, who insisted a couple of weeks ago that the Argentine suits the way he wants to play (Football.London).
The 27-year-old has shown promising signs in the number eight role and Xavi witnessed first-hand just what the Argentine was capable of after he was one of the best players on the pitch in the Joan Gamper Trophy clash on Tuesday.

Barcelona still keen on Lo Celso from Spurs
Mundo Deportivo have now shed light on what Barcelona think of Lo Celso while reporting on the club’s interest in re-signing Neymar.
The publication explains that the La Liga giants are exploring a deal for the Brazilian, who is thought to be surplus to requirements for Luis Enrique at PSG.
However, it is explained that Xavi is not sold on the idea of signing Neymar as he believes that the 31-year-old’s arrival could disrupt the dynamics of the dressing room.
It is explained that the Barca boss ‘likes’ the option of Lo Celso since a deal for Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva appears difficult to do.
Mundo Deportivo add that despite the Argentine being loaned out by Spurs over the last couple of seasons, he is now in Postecoglou’s plans.
Spurs Web Opinion
If Lo Celso wants to stay and fight for his place (which he appears willing to do), then I have no doubt that Tottenham will hang on to the 27-year-old.
The Argentine has demonstrated that he has all the attributes to thrive in the advanced midfielder role in Postecoglou’s 4-3-3 system.
