# Tottenham: Fabrizio Romano shares Giovani Lo Celso exit update

**Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has shared the latest exit update involving [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.**

### **The Lowdown: Lo Celso’s loan**

The 26-year-old joined La Liga outfit [Villarreal on loan in January](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/giovani-lo-celso/profil/spieler/348795), after it had become clear that he wasn’t involved in [Antonio Conte’s plans at Spurs.](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/lo-celso-tottenham-transfer-paratici-23609818)

Since arriving in Spain, the Argentina international went on to feature in every remaining league game, having been named in the starting XI on 11 out of a possible 16 occasions (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/giovani-lo-celso/leistungsdaten/spieler/348795)).

It is said that midfielder is enjoying his time in the Spanish top-flight, and he [hopes that a deal can be made](https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/giovani-lo-celso-transfer-news-transfer-hit-villarreal-move) between the two clubs over a permanent deal this summer.

### **The Latest: Romano’s news**

Romano has now shared a fresh update on Lo Celso’s transfer situation with Villarreal.

Taking to an interview on[YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h9NlZ7TSXg) with Chris Cowlin, Romano claimed (via a transcript on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/ChrisCowlin/status/1533816798151421952)):

“Negotiations are ongoing with Villarreal, but still no agreement on the fee. Spurs want more than €20M and they are offering less. Still discussing – not complete.”

### **The Verdict: Good deal for both parties**

Having made the move to La Liga, Lo Celso clearly seems to be enjoying his time at his new club, given his impressive performances on the pitch.

According to [FB Ref](https://fbref.com/en/players/d7553721/Giovani-Lo-Celso), when compared with positional peers across Europe over the past year, the midfielder now ranks in the 95th percentile for tackles and in the 89th percentile for pressures.

[La Liga ambassador Robert Pires](https://www.livescore.com/en/news/exclusive-robert-pires-unai-emery-villarreal-la-liga-2022032510582069784/) has thus claimed that the Argentine has the ‘quality’ and ‘the right profile to play for Villarreal’, and with Tottenham seemingly in an agreement that Lo Celso doesn’t have a future with the club, it may only be a short time until we see the Spurs man join the Spanish side on a permanent deal.
