Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed a deal to sell Alejo Veliz to Bahia, but they are still waiting on a thumbs-up from the player.
There have already been questions asked of Tottenham Hotspur since the January transfer window opened. Brennan Johnson completed a move to Crystal Palace for a fee in the region of £35m, which saw them make a £12.5m loss on the winger.
Johnson is still only 24 years old, and he made a notable contribution in the Europa League final, causing confusion as to why Spurs settled for a low transfer fee.
However, moving unwanted players on appears to be a priority at Tottenham, and this is set to continue with a striker who could be on his way out.
Tottenham agree transfer fee with Bahia for Alejo Veliz
It has been reported that Spurs could recall Alejo Veliz from Rosario Central in order to seal his permanent exit from the club, with Brazilian side Bahia launching a bid.
German Garcia Grova has confirmed Tottenham’s plans to cut the 22-year-old’s loan deal short, and they have reached an agreement to sell him for £8.7m.

However, the player himself is reportedly yet to comment on the matter, and his approval is required in order for the move to take place.
Spurs have done well to seal a deal for Veliz
Even though Tottenham are losing money on Veliz, who cost them £13m in 2023, they have actually done well to agree an £8.7m deal.
The centre forward has had two underwhelming loan spells in La Liga and even his five goals in 16 appearances for Rosario Central is nothing extraordinary.
Spurs are ultimately pocketing a transfer fee for a player who is never going to play under Thomas Frank, so it is the right decision to let him go.
