Paris Saint-Germain's reported efforts to convince Giovani Lo Celso to return to France have been for naught, as Real Betis announced Tuesday the midfielder has completed a permanent transfer to the Andalusians.
Betis announced the news on Twitter:

According to RMC (h/t Get French Football News), PSG tried to talk the 23-year-old out of the move, but Lo Celso wouldn't budge.
The Argentinian was surprisingly loaned to Real Betis in August of last year after impressing in his final season at the Parc des Princes.
