“Tottenham youngster ‘urgently’ needs transfer due to lack of playing time, pundit suggests he’d welcome a move.”
River Plate encouraged to pursue Tottenham striker Alejo Veliz, seen as a 'unique market opportunity'.
According to Renzo Pantich via Soy del Millo, Tottenham’s Alejo Veliz may be on River Plate’s radar.
Reports suggest that River Plate urgently needs a new striker, as Miguel Borja’s tenure with the club seems to be ending.
Head coach Marcelo Gallardo and his team are in search of a forward who can elevate their attacking lineup, and Veliz has emerged as a “unique market opportunity” worth pursuing.
Pantich remarked on Cuidemos el Fútbol, “We should target Alejo Veliz.
He isn’t getting playing time in Europe, is at a great age, and I know he would like to play for River eventually.”
The report highlights that Veliz, who is currently struggling on loan at Espanyol in Spain, urgently needs a fresh start to revive his career.
There’s a belief that a return to Argentina might be negotiable, despite his current valuation of €9m. While this amount is steep for River, it could be an excellent investment if it resolves their scoring issues.
However, this remains speculative, as the move would require Tottenham’s willingness to part ways with Veliz.
This would mean canceling his loan in Spain and potentially agreeing to a sale price lower than the €15m they paid for him a year ago.
For now, River Plate’s interest hinges on Tottenham’s decision about the young forward’s future.
