Tottenham have agreed a permanent deal that will send Alejo Veliz to Bahia on 1 July, with the move reportedly worth around €9million (£7.7m). It brings an end to a three-year spell in north London that never really took hold. Veliz made only eight first-team appearances for Spurs across all competitions and scored once.
Tottenham move on from a stalled spell
His only Tottenham goal came in December 2023, when he came off the bench in a 4-2 defeat away at Brighton. That is the clearest snapshot of the move: a brief contribution in a game Spurs lost, followed by a long run of loan spells and limited involvement.
The club's tone was brief and polite. "We wish him well for the future," Tottenham said in confirming the departure.
Spurs' wider summer reset
This is also part of a broader clear-out. Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League with 41 points, 10 wins, 11 draws and 17 defeats. The club had already gone through back-to-back 17th-place finishes and only secured survival on the final day last season, which makes exits like this feel less like housekeeping and more like a hard reset.
The report's line that Spurs are "wasting no time in reshaping their squad after flirting with relegation" fits the mood. Veliz was not the only issue at the club, but he was one of the easier decisions. Eight appearances and one goal is a thin return for a three-year stay, and Tottenham have now acted on it.
