Bahia’s Bid for Tottenham’s Alejo Véliz Advances, Central Wants Loan Honored

Reports indicate Tottenham approved the sale, pending Rosario Central’s consent to end his loan early.

Overview

  • UOL reports Bahia has submitted an offer for Véliz and that Tottenham’s directors are satisfied, with a preliminary agreement reported between the clubs.
  • Completing the move would require Tottenham to terminate Véliz’s loan to Rosario Central, which is scheduled to run until June 30, 2026.
  • Rosario Central is seeking to retain the forward for the Copa Libertadores group stage and wants the loan respected through June.
  • La Capital reports the Bahia offer at about €10 million, compared with the roughly €17 million Tottenham paid in 2023, though no financial terms have been confirmed by the clubs.
  • Bahia is operated by City Football Group and is reinforcing for February Libertadores qualifiers under coach Rogério Ceni; Véliz, 22, played 16 matches and scored five goals last semester for Central.
