Tottenham Hotspur are exploring a permanent exit for striker Alejo Veliz and are in talks with Brazilian club Bahia over a deal.
Sources briefed on the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, indicated a fee was yet to be agreed for Veliz but discussions were ongoing.
The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Rosario Club — the Argentine club where he began his career before joining Spurs in 2023 — until June 2026, with any deal to Bahia seeing that loan move cut short.
Veliz scored five goals across 16 appearances at Rosario, whom he joined in July, with all eight of his appearances for parent club Spurs coming in the 2023-24 campaign.
Bahia are 90 per cent owned by City Football Group, whose flagship club are Manchester City, and finished seventh in Brazil’s Serie A last term. They will compete in the qualification stages for this year’s Copa Libertadores.
Veliz scored four goals in 16 appearances on loan at Espanyol in Spain’s La Liga last term, having failed to score in six appearances during a stint with Sevilla the previous campaign. His one Premier League goal for Spurs came in a 4-2 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in December 2023.
