# Son Heung-min's colleague tries again to recruit Barca

Son Heung-min's teammate Giovanni Lo Celso (27) has been listed as a candidate for Barcelona.

"Barcelona is willing to pay a relatively inexpensive transfer fee to bring in Lo Celso in the transfer market in January next year."

Lo Celso left Tottenham on loan last year and joined Villarreal. Expectations for his performance were not high because of the downward trend due to injuries and sluggishness at Tottenham.

Rossellso made a turning point for himself. He gradually increased his playing time in Villarreal and succeeded in recovering his skills by recording two goals and three assists in 29 games throughout all competitions.

Unlike last season's performance, his life at Tottenham was unfortunate. Rossellso has played only three games in all of this season's tournaments. He started only one game in the Carabao Cup. [스포츠토토](https://www.toto365.pro)

He failed to gain the upper hand in the main competition. Tottenham manager Enje Postecoglou preferred the use of James Medicine. There was no time for Lo Celso to dig in.

In the end, he is in the process of breaking up with Tottenham. "Pichahes" said, "Roselso's contract with Tottenham expires in 2025. Tottenham will allow him to transfer if the transfer fee is 15 million euros (about 21.2 billion won).

Barcelona has emerged as one of the candidates for the next destination. According to the report, Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez decided to pursue Lo Celso again after hearing that he could sign him for 15 million euros.

This is not Barcelona's first interest in Lo Celso. Barcelona also sought to recruit Roselso on loan this summer. The deal was not made because Tottenham insisted on a complete sale.

Lionel Messi also recommended Barcelona to recruit Lo Celso. Messi reportedly picked Roselso as the best player in the Argentine national team in a conversation with Xavi a few years ago.
