Lo Celso says he is ‘very happy’ to stay at Betis despite rumors with River Plate
Giovani Lo Celso expresses his happiness at Real Betis and dismisses transfer rumors to River Plate, focusing on his commitment to the club and the next World Cup.
Giovani Lo Celso said he was "very happy" at Real Betis and dismissed rumors linking him to River Plate. The 30-year-old joined Betis in 2024 from Tottenham and has already made 66 appearances for the LaLiga side, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists. Lo Celso helped Betis reach the Conference League final in 2024-25, where they lost to Chelsea, and advance to the Europa League quarter-finals this season. However, the Argentina international has struggled with injuries since arriving in Spain, spending more than two months out of action this season due to a thigh problem. He also missed 20 games for club and country in the 2024-25 season due to a range of injuries, including another thigh problem. His performances for Betis earned him a place in Argentina's World Cup squad, where he scored in the victory over Jordan. Following the win, Lo Celso dismissed any rumors that suggested he wanted to leave Betis this summer. "It's not the time to talk about it," said Lo Celso, whose contract with Betis expires in June 2028. "I don't think it's something that's going to happen. I have a contract with Betis, I'm very happy here. I'm 100% focused on the World Cup and representing this shirt. Something very special is coming."
