Three South American clubs are keen on landing Tottenham Hotspur striker - report
One Tottenham player who struggled to make an impact once again last season is wanted by his former club this summer, and a fresh update has suggested they have a big advantage as the race for his signature intensifies.
Alejo Veliz joined Tottenham in a £13m deal from Rosario Central in August 2023, however, the centre-forward has not been able to make a breakthrough during his time in European football as of yet.
The forward has had two challenging loan spells at Sevilla and Espanyol, struggling to get regular game time at both clubs, and it has been suggested over recent weeks that Veliz could return to Argentina this summer.
Last week, it emerged that Rosario Central are plotting a move to re-sign Veliz, and a fresh update has now explained the state of play in the race for the 21-year-old.
Alejo Veliz is not short of options this summer
Journalist Cristian Camino has now told TNT Sports Argentina (as relayed by Soy del Millo): “Alejo Véliz wants to join this super Rosario Central that is being built.”
Soy del Millo then go into depth about the transfer race, revealing that River Plate and Boca Juniors have also joined Rosario Central in the pursuit of the Tottenham man.
Both Boca and River are thought to be after a number nine and have already contacted Veliz to enquire about a summer move.
All three clubs believe that he is not wanted by Tottenham and that they will be happy to cut their losses this summer if they receive the right transfer fee.
Rosaria Central have a big advantage in the race for Veliz
Soy del Millo suggest that Rosario Central have an advantage over both Boca and River in the race to land the Spurs youngster.
That is not only because of the emotional connection Veliz has with the club, having come through their academy, but also because of the team they are building.
Rosaria Central have just acquired the services of Angel Di Maria and they are building a ‘team full of stars’ so that they can ‘seriously compete’ for titles, with the Tottenham man thus keen on a return.
