Giovani Lo Celso: Real Betis Firm on €75m Valuation Despite Tottenham's Confidence of Cut-Price Deal

Reports have surfaced from Spain casting doubt over Giovani Lo Celso's proposed move to Tottenham, despite the north Londoners confidence that a deal can be done.

After Real Betis sealed the signing of an apparent like-for-like replacement in the shape of Nabil Fekir from Lyon, it appeared the long-protracted saga was reaching its likely conclusion, and that Lo Celso would leave La Liga for the Champions League finalists.

Spanish publications ABC Sevilla and Diario de Sevilla (via Sport Witness) are the main culprits in suggesting that the deal won't go as smoothly as planned, with the two outlets claiming that negotiations are 'still far away'.
