Overview
- Tottenham confirmed on Friday that they have agreed a permanent transfer for Alejo Veliz to Brazilian side Bahia with the player set to join on 1 July.
- Media reports place the fee at roughly £8 million with some outlets saying there are small add‑ons and a reported 20% sell‑on clause, though the sell‑on detail has not been widely confirmed.
- Veliz signed for Spurs from Rosario Central in 2023 for about £13m on a long‑term deal, but made only eight first‑team appearances and scored one Premier League goal before several loan spells in Spain and Argentina.
- The sale creates squad space as Tottenham reshape their roster under head coach Roberto De Zerbi and gives Veliz the chance to rebuild with regular minutes in Brazil.
- For Tottenham the transfer is a partial recovery of their initial outlay and keeps a financial stake in any future move through reported sell‑on terms, while Veliz gains a clearer route to revive his career at a club linked to the City Football Group.
