Hi Eds keep seeing different articles stating we hold an interest in Giovani Lo Celso, is this a player we’ve looked at?

{Ed002's Note - Giovani Lo Celso (CM) is a Plan B to AG but in reality he could be more expensive than him after REal Betis signed him and are looking to treble their money (in reality they might be able to double it).}

Rumours circulating that Barcelona will accept Spurs bid for Gomes and he is going to accept their offer. i hope Lo Celso can be as good as Gomes if we are lucky enough to get him in, Gomes was a real asset this season.

{Ed002's Note - He would be very expensive.}

Quick question on these type of situations Ed, I take it they cannot actually sign him until the window opens so can the selling club actually sell him elsewhere themselves?
I would be miffed if it happened to my team but I think something similar happened with Southampton a few seasons back with Toby Alderweireld who was on loan but then ended up going to Spurs
Or was that a completely different scenario?

{Ed002's Note - No, they can sign him any time they wish as he is registered to them and they have an option to purchase. So Real Betis informed PSG last November of their plan to buy him outright, and the did so in early April although PSG did try and persuade the player not to sign because they could get more elsewhere - and PSG need commited sales of €60M gross by June 30.

It was a different situation with Toby Alderweireld where Southampton accepted a payment not to take up their option (and the player being happy to move to Spurs)}
