The decision to move Fekir on is expected to free up transfer funds and salary space for deadline day signings at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.

As part of the deal, Spurs accepted a deal to release Lo Celso, to join Real Betis on a free transfer, but as part of an unusual transfer package.

Transfer expert Matteo Moretto explained to Football España that instead of a fee, Spurs have a future €30m option to buy USMNT midfielder Johnny Cardoso, who arrived at the club in January for €6m.
