Life Journey

The biography of Giovani Lo Celso shows his Childhood Story, Early Life, Parents, Family, Girlfriend, Wife, Cars, Net Worth, Lifestyle, and Personal Life. Basically, this is the life story of the Argentinian professional footballer.

From his boyhood days to the time of his fame, we journey through his life. Here is Giovani Lo Celso’s childhood to the adult gallery – a perfect introduction to his biography.

Under Jose Mourinho, he has become a game-changer for Spurs with his supreme talent. However, only a few people consider our version of Giovani Lo Celso’s biography, which is quite interesting. Let’s get started now without further ado.

Family Background And Early Life

To begin with, this Football Genius is nicknamed “Monito”. In the city of Rosario, Argentina, Giovani Lo Celso was born on April 9th, 1996. Having been born to Sandra Lo Celso and Juan Lo Celso, he is the third of four children.

How about the fact that Giovani comes from a mixed ethnicity Italian family with Argentine citizenship?

In Rosario, he grew up in the Sarmiento neighborhood with his younger brother – Francesco – and two older sisters – Luciana and Agustina.

Growing up with his younger brother Francesco and two others, Giovani had a fun-filled childhood. As a child of a middle-class family in the Sarmiento neighborhood, Giovani couldn’t help but become an avid football fan.

Five blocks away from Giovani’s house was a massive football pitch. Additionally, the garage was large enough for Giovani and his little brother Francesco to practice football.

Giovani Lo Celso Education And Career Buildup

Before deciding which club and league to begin his youth career, Giovani took his first steps in competitive football at local boyhood clubs.

Among Giovani’s boyhood clubs was San Jose, where he began his career before joining Argentina’s Atlética Jorge Griffa academy for a two-year intensive training program. During his formative years, he played for boyhood clubs.

Early Career Life

When Giovani was ready to start his youth career, he had offers from top teams, including Everton. Nevertheless, the 15-year-old committed to the local club Rosario Central to fulfilling his childhood dream. As Giovani rose through the ranks at Rosario Central, he developed his skillset and maturity.

The French side PSG had been eyeing Giovani for months before signing him after his senior debut season (2015/2016) at Rosario Central. Giovani didn’t start playing for PSG immediately after signing. To gain more first-team experience, he was loaned back to Rosario Central.

During the 2018/2019 season, the midfielder played alongside Dani Alves, Adrien Rabiot, Draxler, and Cavani at PSG after completing his loan deal.

After completing his loan deal with Rosario Central, the midfielder moved on to greater things. Giovani did not have a permanent home at PSG. Thus, they had no problem loaning him to Real Betis with an option to buy.

Giovani found form at Real Betis under Quique Setien and decided to sign a permanent contract with the club for obvious reasons (more game time).

A Story Of Success

During his time with Real Betis, Giovani earned the reputation of a goal-scoring machine with venomous strikes, which led Tottenham Hotspur to loan him out for the season.

Due to a hip injury he picked up while on international duty, the Argentine struggled at the club. When Mauricio Pochettino was replaced with Jose Mourinho, Giovani was still trying to secure a place in the club. Tottenham’s 4-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade in the UEFA Champions League gave Giovani the opportunity to find favor in the eyes of his new manager.

Against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, he scored the opening goal to cement his status as Spurs’ formidable midfielder. His key goals cemented his status as one of Tottenham’s most formidable strikers.

He and his midfield partners Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele, Dele Alli, and Gedson Fernandes will move Spurs to the next level soon. As they say, the rest is history.
