A couple of days ago, we covered claims from Argentina which explained Rosario Central’s dream to get Alejo Véliz back from Tottenham Hotspur had been somewhat interrupted by reality.
Tottenham signed the 21-year-old from Rosario Central in 2023 and since then he’s had loans at Sevilla and Espanyol. The Sevilla spell was a complete disaster, and whilst Espanyol was a bit better in terms of game time it was a long way from being a success.
Rosario Central’s plan had been to sign the youngster back on loan so he could regain his confidence, and transfer value, in Argentina. Tottenham, however, want to sell him this summer.
The dream isn’t completely over, with Alejo Véliz himself very much wanting the move to happen.
As reported by Via Pais, who have pictures to prove it (the club also posted some, which you can see below), the forward was at Rosario Central training over the weekend, watching proceedings and even wearing a club coat.
Via Pais state: ‘According to club sources, Véliz’s presence reflects an emotional connection with his former team. He greeted members of the coaching staff and several players, which those close to him interpreted as a sign of his intention to return to the club’s jersey.’
Rosario Central aren’t giving up and despite having their initial loan offer rejected, negotiations are ongoing to find a formula that will convince Tottenham.
