Tottenham Hotspur are ready to take a major step to ensure that a deal they agreed on last week goes through without any hiccups.
Given the ongoing turmoil at Tottenham at the moment, the last thing Spurs fans will be concerned with is the future of Alejo Veliz, but it is a situation that is creating headaches at the North London club.
The striker has impressed on loan at Rosario Central this term, and it emerged last week that Spurs accepted an £8.7m bid for Veliz from Brazilian side Bahia.
However, Veliz’s move to Bahia has hit a roadblock, as the conditions for Tottenham recalling the striker from his loan spell in Rosario this month have not been met.
Tottenham ready to pay compensation to Rosario Central for Alejo Veliz
Some sources have indicated over recent days Spurs may have to compensate Rosario financially in order to cut short the striker’s loan spell.
According to a new report in Cadena 3 that is exactly what the Lilywhites are considering doing.
The report says that the Premier League side are seriously contemplating paying a sizable fee to Rosario to recall Veliz and sell him on to Bahia.
Even if the deal ends up costing Tottenham more than they planned, it is a case that they want resolved soon.
Rosario Central are holding firm on Veliz
However, Cadena 3 do not make it clear if the situation of the Argentine striker is going to change over the next week and a half.
They explain that Rosario are continuing to stand their ground on Veliz. The club’s officials are showing no urgency to soften their stance on the striker, who continues to train with their squad.
The Argentine club’s position is strengthened by the desire of Veliz, who is happy to stay at his boyhood club until June and continue developing there.
