Tottenham Hotspur are open to selling Alejo Véliz to Bahia – or likely anyone – in the winter market.
Earlier this month, claims from Brazil and Argentina reported Tottenham have accepted the Brazilian club’s €8.6m bid. The move hasn’t gone through yet because of the striker, who is currently on loan at Rosario Central.
Thomas Frank’s side had a recall clause in January. However, this is no longer valid after he played 1,430 minutes from 17 matches. Spurs will need the 22-year-old and Rosario Central’s approval to terminate his loan deal.
Earlier claims indicated Tottenham can cut short his stay by paying compensation to the Argentine club.
At the weekend, claims from Argentina insisted he wants to finish the season with Rosario Central. This came as a huge relief to them. They also reported Bahia will return for the Tottenham owned player after the World Cup.
Argentine journalist Germán García Grova took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report a fresh twist in this case.
He claims the Brazilian club haven’t given up on signing the attacker in this window.
Bahia continue to insist on securing his services after reaching an agreement with Tottenham. ‘Everything us agreed’ with Spurs.
Tottenham and Bahia in last ditch attempt
Grova reports Bahia have made a formal offer to Rosario Central to terminate his loan stay immediately.
The journalist covered this late on Sunday and said the ‘offer expires tomorrow’, meaning Monday. This is clearly their last-ditch attempt.
He makes no mention of the fee proposed by Bahia, a club owned by the City Football Group, who also own Manchester City.
