He now states that the 19-year-old chose to join Spurs despite having approaches from another top European side. He will be signing a five-year contract that will run up until 2028, and the transfer deal is reported to be worth around £12.9 million.
Romano claims that Spurs have currently planned to ensure that Veliz does not leave on loan to Rosario Central for the 2023/24 season. It’s also added that a decision on what to do with him for the campaign will be made soon and that documents for the finalization of the transfer will be completed in the next 24-48 hours. It’s clear that they will seal the signing of the teenager soon, but the Lilywhites are yet to decide on whether to loan him or not.
What Is Next on Spurs’ Radar?
It appears that Tottenham are becoming quite busy in the summer transfer window and are trying to get multiple deals done before the league campaign starts.
They are reported to be on the verge of signing Dutch defender Mickey van de Ven to improve their backline as they look to complete the deal for Veliz.
