Shock in Arroyito: City Group’s Bahia in talks for Alejo Véliz | OneFootball

Rosario Central might suffer another significant loss in their forward line, complicating the situation for Ángel Di María, who has already seen Ignacio Malcorra leave for Independiente. Now, a club belonging to the City Group has shown strong interest in Alejo Véliz, currently on loan from Tottenham until June.

The club in question is Esporte Club Bahia from Brazil, which, according to reports, has reached a preliminary agreement with the Spurs to acquire the full rights to the forward for a sum close to 10 million euros.

If the deal is confirmed, Véliz's departure from Rosario Central could be expedited. According to the Brazilian media outlet UOL Esporte, it is expected that in the coming days, Tottenham will attempt to terminate the current loan contract with the "Canalla" to facilitate the transfer to Bahia, a club that belongs to the same business conglomerate as Manchester City.

So far, the player's official stance has not been disclosed. Véliz might intend to fulfill the remaining six months of his loan at the club where he was developed and made his First Division debut.

The situation takes on a particular nuance since Rosario Central will also participate in the 2026 Copa Libertadores (entering directly into the group stage for being the team that accumulated the most points in the Annual Table). The departure of one of its key players to Bahia would indirectly strengthen a potential direct rival in the continental tournament.
