Giovani Lo Celso is back on Barcelona's radar once again. According to reports in Spain, the Catalan club are considering a bid to sign the Tottenham midfielder in January. This comes as a result of Gavi's anterior cruciate ligament injury, which will see him miss the rest of the season.
In the summer transfer window, Barcelona attempted to make Lo Celso one of their midfield targets. However, due to financial restrictions, they were unable to reach an agreement with Spurs. Mundo Deportivo claim that the Argentina international is still on Barca's shortlist and would be their primary target if they decide to replace Gavi in the upcoming transfer window.
The report also suggests that Barcelona are hopeful of registering Brazilian forward Vitor Roque after agreeing a €35 million deal with Athletico Paranaense in the summer. This follows the unfortunate news that Gavi will miss the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury.
Tottenham are reportedly keen on keeping Lo Celso until the end of the season, as he has yet to start in the Premier League this season. However, with James Maddison's injury, he should see more game time. Furthermore, Spurs will lose Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr when the Africa Cup of Nations begins in January.
Despite Barcelona's interest, the Evening Standard reports that Spurs will reject any approach from the Catalan club for Lo Celso.
