Manchester City, Manchester United 'battling for Giovani Lo Celso'

Giovani Lo Celso is attracting interest from bitter rivals Manchester City and Manchester United following his impressive season with Real Betis, according to a report.

Manchester City and Manchester United may reportedly go head to head for the signing of Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.

The 23-year-old ended the 2018-19 campaign as the Spanish side's top scorer thanks to 16 goals in all competitions.

That form earned Lo Celso links with a move to the Premier League with United, who are on the lookout for a midfielder of his calibre.

According to the Manchester Evening News, though, the Red Devils face competition from neighbours Man City as Pep Guardiola intends to keep a close eye on the Argentina international at this summer's Copa America.

Betis only signed Lo Celso on a permanent deal in April following his successful spell on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, but they are believed to be willing to part with the player if they are offered around the £60m mark.

Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid are also rumoured to be in the running to sign the former PSG ace.
