Alejo Véliz has struggled since leaving Rosario Central for Tottenham Hotspur in August 2023.
The striker was at the north London club in the first half of the 2023/24 season and had disappointing loan spells at Sevilla and Espanyol.
Rosario Central have identified the 21-year-old as the target to improve their attack this summer.
Four days ago, we covered claims from Argentina that Rosario Central made a formal offer to the Tottenham player’s entourage. He’s willing to return and the two parties are waiting to find out what Spurs plan to do with him this summer.
Journalist Uriel Iugt took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report that Tottenham have rejected the Argentine club’s loan offer as they intend to sell him.
TyC Sports state Rosario Central’s dream of securing Véliz’s services ‘fades’ given the Spurs stance.
The Europa League winners refuse to accept a loan move as they look to sell him with a percentage of a future sale. Therefore, the possibility of Véliz’s former club signing him even on a paid loan deal is ruled out.
As Tottenham paid €17m, Rosario Central feel they can’t even offer a fee to open talks for the frontman. At this moment in time, a move for Véliz is unlikely despite the desire of both parties.
If he were to not receive offers until the end of the summer window and Frank leaves him out of his plans, Rosario Central can sign the Argentine on loan. This seems to be difficult, but that’s what the South American club seem to be hoping for.
