Lo Celso on Valencia's January agenda

Valencia considering a loan move for Real Betis midfielder Lo Celso in January; Betis open to letting him leave given limited playing time this season.

Giovani Lo Celso is on Valencia's radar as a potential January reinforcement, with the club exploring a loan deal for the Argentine midfielder. According to reports, Valencia is interested in bringing Lo Celso to the Mestalla on a temporary basis.

Real Betis, while not yet approached formally, would be willing to consider his departure. Lo Celso has struggled for minutes this season and carries a high salary, making a winter exit a possibility for the Seville club. Any loan arrangement would need to resolve how the two clubs split his wages and whether a purchase option would be included.

Lo Celso was left out of Betis's recent La Liga match against Elche but returned to the squad for the Copa del Rey opener against Navalcarnero. Manager Manuel Pellegrini attributed the omission to a tactical decision, insisting there is no issue with the player.
