REAL BETIS HAVE exercised their option to complete the permanent signing of Giovani Lo Celso from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spanish side signed midfielder Lo Celso on loan in August 2018 and the 23-year-old has now agreed a contract through to 2023.
Betis CEO Jose Miguel Lopez Catalan confirmed in November the club’s intention to pay the required €25million fee after being “convinced” by his performances.
The Argentina international is Betis’ top scorer with 15 goals in all competitions and was on target in the 3-2 derby defeat to Sevilla on Saturday.
He made 38 appearances for PSG in Ligue 1 after arriving from boyhood club Rosario Central in 2016.
Betis sit ninth in La Liga with six games to play.

Even when on the bench he didn’t get game time. The coach doesn’t like or trust him. Saturday once again showed just how wrong O’connor has been all season
O’Connor is just all wrong for Leinster.
He has a very big chance next season with Leinster during the World Cup, midfield won’t be as competitive so he should get a good run of matches.
Mark if Darcy doesn’t make the World Cup squad, he’ll play 12 with t’eo at 13. Then Madigan and sexton will be back so the midfield won’t be as easy to get into as you may think
That pop pass from O’Brien
Battle between him and Madigan for the 12 jersey next season.
It’s always to easy to see who coaches ‘just like/don’t like’. When Gopperth played badly it was ignored whereas when Madigan played mediocre or even if Reid played well decisions went against them.
It creates such a poisonous culture as some players start to feel entitled to spots and others feel it doesn’t matter how well they play they won’t get picked. Cody and Fergusson were masters at disregarding players identities and judging on match performance alone. MOC is such a stink manager.
