Alejo Véliz joins Bahia, stays at Rosario Central until June | OneFootball

Rosario Central loses one of its key players for the second half of the season. Bahia of Brazil is buying Alejo Véliz, who will bid farewell to the Rosario team in June, when his loan ends.

The young 22-year-old striker—who scored a goal against Racing in the Apertura—will become a new addition to the Brazilian team. The club will pay 9 million euros to Tottenham to acquire 100 percent of the striker’s rights.

Véliz—who was persistent in returning to Rosario to fulfill his dream of playing with Ángel Di María—expressed his intention to honor the duration of his loan with the Canalla, and that’s why he will only move to Bahia in June. According to reports, he will sign a contract until December 2030.

In this way, the Brazilian club will be his fifth team in his young career, following his stints at Rosario Central (two periods), Tottenham in the Premier League, Sevilla, and Espanyol in Spain’s La Liga.

Véliz was sold to Tottenham in mid-2023 for 23 million gross dollars, a record sale for the Canalla. Now, the Spurs will transfer him to Bahia of Brazil. Ángel Di María loses one of his great partners in the Rosario side: the striker will be a significant loss for the second half of the season.
