Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the permanent departure of Alejo Veliz, with the Argentine striker set to join Brazilian club Bahia in a deal worth just under £8 million. As of 27 Jun 2026, Tottenham Hotspur sit 17th in the Premier League, with 41 points from 38 games, and a recent form of WLDWW.
What happened?
Veliz arrived at Tottenham Hotspur from Rosario Central in 2023 with considerable promise, but opportunities in North London proved limited.
His time at Spurs yielded just eight appearances and one Premier League goal before loan spells at Sevilla and Espanyol followed.
Why it matters for Tottenham Hotspur
The move to Bahia offers Veliz the opportunity to restart his career with regular first-team football.
While Tottenham supporters may wonder what might have been, the transfer appears beneficial for both club and player.

What comes next?
For Tottenham Hotspur, this departure creates further flexibility as they continue reshaping the squad ahead of the new campaign.
The reported fee represents sensible business for Tottenham, rather than allowing the player to drift further down the squad hierarchy, they have secured a permanent solution while giving Veliz the chance to revive his career elsewhere.
As the summer transfer window progresses, Tottenham Hotspur will look to build on their current squad, with a focus on improving their Premier League standing and reducing the 44-point gap to leaders Arsenal.
