Betis cannot secure their top target to replace Nabil Fekir, Dani Ceballos. Despite presenting an improved offer to Real Madrid, Betis’ chances of luring Ceballos away from the Santiago Bernabeu appear slim.
With injuries sidelining key midfielders Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham, Madrid don’t want to let the Utrera native return to the Andalusian side.
Betis have shifted focus to Lo Celso, who is surplus to requirements at Tottenham. He has only a year left on his deal, but Spurs are reportedly proving difficult negotiators.
The La Liga club have submitted a £5 million bid for the Argentine midfielder. Personal terms with Lo Celso are already agreed and Betis are waiting for a response from Tottenham.
Betis may include a future option to buy Johnny Cardoso or a percentage of his transfer as part of their proposal for Lo Celso.
This potential add-on could sway Tottenham in the final hours of the transfer window.
