Tottenham or Messi!... MF who shouted "I don't like Tottenham" is 'worried' to renew his contract

Tottenham Hotspur plan to re-sign Giovanni Lo Celso. They are even considering a salary increase.

Will Roselso, who was contemplating going to Barcelona at Lionel Messi's recommendation, change his mind?

British media Football London said on the 27th (Korea Standard Time), "Tottenham is reportedly in the process of proposing a new contract for midfielder Lo Celso despite his limited Premier League appearance this season," adding, "Coach Ange Postecoglou wants to convince the Argentine that this is part of his long-term vision."

Meanwhile, the media said, "Lionel Messi recommended Lo Celso to Barcelona in the January transfer market and even said Lo Celso is the best midfielder in Argentina," adding, "Tottenham is proposing a two-year extension and will pay him a salary to persuade him." He added, "We are also considering an increase."

Lo Celso has rarely been given a chance at Tottenham this season. He has appeared in 19 games this season, but only six starts and has played for less than 600 minutes. Lo Celso is completely ignored by Postecoglou.

Lo Celso did not play properly except for his first season after moving to Tottenham. In his first season alone, he established himself as a starter with two goals and three assists in 37 games.

However, injury and sluggishness kept him from being chosen by Tottenham managers. With his playing time gradually reduced, Roselso only played for half a season in the 2021-22 season and went on loan to Villa Real. Roselso scored one goal and one assist while playing for Villarreal, and his impact on the game was incredible.

Villarreal wanted to extend Lo Celso's loan deal, which Tottenham accepted, and Lo Celso improved his form for a season and a half at Villarreal.

He returned this season, but still had no place at Tottenham. Postecoglou, the new manager this season, announced his intention to use Lo Celso in the pre-season, but he only used James Maddison at the start of the season. Lo Celso was pushed out of the starting lineup and failed to secure time due to an injury.

Although Lo Celso has not established a place in his team, he is the undoubted starter for the Argentine national team. Messi, his teammate and the greatest player of all time, has also shown such great skill that he was recommended to his former team, Barcelona. Lo Celso was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar due to an injury, but was later called by Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni.

Lo Celso's strengths are obvious. His main position is an attacking midfielder, but he can also play as a winger and invigorate his team's attacks with his creative play. Tottenham recruited him because he was the type of creative midfielder that Tottenham didn't have.

Roselso, who has lost ground at Tottenham, wanted to transfer. Tottenham also planned to sell Roselso, which is not used by Postecoglou, because his contract with Tottenham will expire at the end of next season. The idea was that Tottenham could at least collect the transfer funds because they would have to send him as a free agent if they could not sell him at the end of this season.

However, Tottenham changed its position in a few days. They want to renew the contract, not transfer. Tottenham produced good results by appointing Madison in place of Roselso, but some say they need Roselso as Madison has shown sluggish performance recently. Roselso thanked Postecoglou in an interview earlier this year, saying his faith in Tottenham led him to stay.
