WHO IS ALEJO VÉLIZ?

Alejo Véliz emerged at Rosario Central (ARG) and was sold to Tottenham in 2023, when he was just 19 years old. To gain experience, the player was loaned to Sevilla (ESP), Espanyol (ESP), and later returned to the Argentine club.

Currently on loan at Rosario Central until June this year, Alejo Véliz has played 16 matches this season. During this period, the Argentine striker scored five goals and provided one assist in the campaign that won the Argentine Championship.

WHAT DOES FLAMENGO WANT?

Flamengo wants to sign a new center forward for the next season, which begins on Sunday (11). Initially, the red-and-black club tried to reach an agreement with Argentine Taty Castellanos, from Lazio (ITA), but did not achieve a positive outcome.

Next, Flamengo sought to sign Kaio Jorge, a striker from Cruzeiro. O Mais Querido made two multimillion proposals to the Belo Horizonte club, but again, there was no progress. Thus, Mengo remains in the market in search of another name.
