Alejo Veliz has failed to make a big impact at Tottenham and could depart this summer
According to Argentinean journalist Uriel Lugt, Fiorentina are formulating an offer to sign Tottenham striker Alejo Veliz.
Fiorentina want to sign a striker before the August 30 transfer deadline. They have supposedly set their sights on the Tottenham prospect Alejo Veliz, who arrived in a £13m deal from Rosario Central last summer.
Failure to get game time in the first half of the 2023/24 season saw the young striker leave Spurs and join Sevilla on loan during the winter transfer window. The move turned out to be a disastrous one as he managed only six appearances in Seville colours.
Having returned to the club, it looks like Veliz is wanted by Fiorentina. On his X account, Uriel Lugt claims Fiorentina are expected to make a formal offer for Veliz in the coming days. They are planning to bid to sign the young striker permanently, with Spurs including a sizable sell-on clause in the deal.
“EXCL: #Fiorentina goes charging for Alejo Veliz,” Lugt tweeted.
“In the coming days there could be a formal offer to purchase a high % of the pass. Has a contract with #Tottenham until June 2029.”
Veliz didn’t get a lot of opportunities to show his potential at Tottenham under Ange Postecoglou. He was sporadically used in the first half of the past campaign, where the striker’s highlight came in his first goal for the club in the 4-2 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium in December. Overall, he failed to make a big impact at Spurs.
