Tottenham table record bid for Manchester United and Real Madrid target – report

Giovani Lo Celso Spurs Real Betis

According to BBC Sport, Spurs have bid £53 million for Lo Celso.

The 23-year-old was reportedly a target for Manchester United and Real Madrid.

After the young midfielder struggled to make an impact at the Parc des Princes, the La Liga club triggered their €22 option to buy him in April. 

Lo Celso now has a €100m release clause in his contract and it's believed that Betis want closer to that amount for the player.

Christian Eriksen is linked with a move to Real Madrid, and it's thought that Spurs may be lining up a replacement for the creative Dane.

Regardless, any deal would see Lo Celso become Spurs' most expensive signing ever, smashing the £42 million they spent on Davinson Sanchez in 2017.
