Giovani Lo Celso ended up in Betis in the last transfer window, coming from Tottenham of Englandin search of adding minutes on the field so as not to lose consideration in the Argentine National Team and to be able to reach Lionel Scaloni’s summons with filming. The Andalusian team put up five million euros to have his services again and the American champion pays based on goals.
The 28-year-old from Rosario returned to Betis after four years and since his return at the beginning of September, he has already scored three goals, including this Monday against Mallorca, and an assist in two games. This Monday, Betis received Mallorca at the close of matchday 6 and Lo Celso received it in the middle of the field, he outlined his left foot, got the mark off him and began his journey towards the goal with pure speed and power. Upon reaching the vicinity of the area, the Argentine National Team midfielder did not hesitate and took a very strong shot, impossible for the Slovakian Dominik Greif to stop.
Gio, as those close to him call him, scored the great goal after seven minutes to put Betis ahead from the start at the close of matchday 6 of LaLiga, but the joy of the goal was short-lived as a minute later the Mallorcan team reached a tie.
After his time at Tottenham, where he did not have much experience and went out on loan in the last two seasons, the Argentine returned to the London Spurs where he was not taken into account, which motivated his return to the Andalusian club.
Giovanni Lo Celso had his first time at Betis in 2018, arriving on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, with a purchase option close to 30 million dollars. In 2019 Betis made the purchase and Lo Celso became crucial for the team. During that season, the Argentine played 45 games, scored 16 goals and provided five assists. That earned the English club nearly 48 million for him. Such a great business, that now a fetish player returned for just five.
