Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed to sell 22-year-old Argentine striker Alejo Veliz to Bahia this month.
According to an update by Alejo Gerbaudo, Alejo Veliz wants to continue at Rosario Central, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The player is currently on loan at the Argentine club, and it is no surprise that he wants to stay there. However, the North London club have secured a €10 million agreement with Bahia.
Veliz is highly rated in South America, but he has not had the opportunity to prove himself in English football. He will be desperate to end his spell with Tottenham and move on. Continuing at Rosario Central could be ideal for the youngster.
He needs regular time to continue his development and fulfil his potential. Playing regularly in his comfort zone could be the best option for the player right now. However, Tottenham are looking to sell Alejo Veliz to another club, and it remains to be seen whether he is prepared to oblige.
Bahia could be an interesting opportunity for the player as well. The Brazilian outfit are looking to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and they might be able to provide the 22-year-old with regular opportunities. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the player to join the club with assurances of game time.
What’s next?
Alejo Veliz has the potential to develop into a quality striker. However, the 22-year-old needs to play regularly in the right team. Tottenham will not be able to provide him with that opportunity, and it makes sense for him to leave the club permanently.
Meanwhile, Rosario Central will hope to keep the youngster at the club as well. Veliz has been an important first-team player for them, and they will hope to nurture him into a future star. It remains to be seen whether they are encouraged to make a permanent move for the player, especially after Bahia’s offer.
Tottenham will look to sell to the highest bidder and invest the money into the playing squad. They are unlikely to stand in his way if Rosario Central are prepared to pay up. Meanwhile, other players may also leave Tottenham this month, with Paris FC working on a loan deal for Mathys Tel.
