Alejo Véliz was permitted to sign a loan agreement with Sevilla during the winter transfer window after finding it difficult to secure consistent playing time at Tottenham Hotspur during the first half of the season.
The La Liga team plays Real Madrid on Sunday. Prior to the match, AS spoke with the 20-year-old.
The footballer, who is owned by Tottenham, has stated that he will make an effort to enjoy his weekend trip to Santiago Bernabéu.
He was questioned about the veracity of earlier reports that suggested Los Blancos were interested in the striker.
In response, he stated: “Yes, it was reported in the media, and my agency informed me a while back that Real Madrid was showing interest, but nothing came of it.
“I wanted to stay at Rosario and play more,” the player said. “It was during the South American U20 Championship. I hadn’t been in the first team for long. also following the U20 World Cup. However, I’m a cool man who takes things slowly and has a strong belief in God, who helps me stay on course and will provide for me with the best.
Five months before to the U20 World Cup, in January 2023, the most recent South American U20 Championship was held.
When questioned if the Spaniard had persuaded Bryan Gil, the former player for Sevilla, to sign with Spurs, Véliz gave an explanation. “We arrived at a pause. We had the weekend off thanks to Tottenham; Bryan invited me to come while I was by myself. I didn’t even hesitate when the opportunity presented itself.
After signing a contract that will continue until 2029, Tottenham acquired the Argentine from Rosario Central last summer. Véliz does not have a buyout option with Sevilla, and it is unclear if he will stay with the Spanish team after this season.
“I’m not sure what will occur. Time will tell if I stay or not. First and foremost, Sevilla and their supporters should be pleased with me since I’m thrilled to be here and I anticipate a lot of positive things happening,” he continued.
The Tottenham player claims he needs to “work twice as hard if we want to even think about that possibility” because he hasn’t yet played for Argentina’s national squad.
