Tottenham Hotspur striker Alejo Veliz is a target for Racing Club this summer, and they have already submitted an offer to sign him.
According to a report from TYC Sports, they have offered $5 million for 60% of the player’s ownership. The report claims that Tottenham have ‘approved the transfer’, but they will seek minor changes. It remains to be seen whether both parties can get the deal across the line.
The 21-year-old wants to return to Argentina, and he is on the radar of his former club Rosario Central as well. However, they might not be able to afford him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham exit ideal for Alejo Veliz
Veliz is highly rated in South America, and he has a bright future. He has not been able to establish himself as an important player for Tottenham, and he was on loan at Spanish club Espanyol last season. It makes sense for him to leave permanently and focus on his development. Returning to South America would be ideal for him at this stage of his career.
If he manages to develop with regular gametime, he will have opportunities to return to Europe in future.
Meanwhile, the 21-year-old is unlikely to be an important player for them next season, and therefore, Tottenham are not standing in the way of a departure either. They will look to recoup some money from his sale and invest it into the playing squad.
Spurs need attacking depth
Meanwhile, Tottenham will look to improve their squad this summer. They should invest in another quality striker. Dominic Solanke was unreliable last season, and he needs more support in the attack. Signing a reliable finisher would be a wise decision. It remains to be seen whether they can replace Veliz with a quality goal-scorer.
