tottenham Alejo has finally parted ways with Veliz, and new details from Brazil suggest the transfer wasn’t straightforward behind the scenes at all.

For months, the expectation was that the deal would make perfect sense for everyone involved.

Bahia, acting as of manchester city City, a satellite club in Brazil within the Futbol Group structure, wanted a young striker with resale value.

Tottenham had a player who never established himself in North London. However, the reality proved to be far more complex.

tottenham wanted to wait

according to globo esporteOne of the biggest obstacles was Tottenham themselves.

The report claimed that Spurs had no intention of selling Veliz during the January window. Instead, their preference was to wait for the European summer market, when demand is usually higher and clubs believe they can extract better value.

This is especially interesting, considering how the situation ultimately unfolded. Tottenham accepted €9m (£7.6m)Despite earlier reports in this saga citing figures of between €10m and €20m depending on the structure of the deal.

Bahia feared that waiting would make the operation more expensive. There were also concerns that more European clubs might join the race and further complicate matters. As a result, City Football Group proceeded with negotiations rather than delaying them.

Citigroup gives priority to Veliz

The report also gives a glimpse of how highly the striker is rated by Bahia and CFG.

Football director Cadú Santoro personally presented the project to Veliz. Meanwhile, a member of the scouting department traveled to Argentina to meet the players and their representatives face-to-face.

Bahia see the 22-year-old as more than a short-term signing. Internally, the club saw him as a strategic fit for the wider City Football Group model and a player who could form part of a medium and long-term project.

Rosario Central resistance changed almost everything

Tottenham were not the only obstacle. Bahia also tried to negotiate an early release from Rosario Central and discussed compensation. The Argentine side refused to budge, determined to keep the striker for their Libertadores campaign.

Veliz himself could make life more difficult. Instead, he took the opposite approach.

The striker wanted the move and he liked the project presented by Bahia – she is happy now. However, he also made it clear that he would not force his way out of the club where he came through the academy and made his name.

That decision ultimately shaped the outcome. Rosario kept him until the end of the loanTottenham got their permanent sale, and Bahia secured the player they had identified as a priority target months earlier.

If we look at this saga, the most surprising detail may be that the transfer took place at all. Tottenham wanted to wait, Rosario wanted to keep him, and Veliz refused to create conflict.

Yet CFG kept trying and eventually got their man.

AS Roma’s Matias Sule has been linked with a move Aston Villa And Unai Emery is still trying to exert force.

sports witness It covers how initial contact was made between the attacker’s squad and the Birmingham club. Bournemouth were also interested but the Villans appeared to be more advanced in pursuit.

Sole was believed to be one of the main candidates to leave Roma, who were dealing with financial issues.

Gasperini may sell Sole

messenger The situation in Seoul has ‘completely changed’ in recent months, the report said. At one point, he felt like the center of the project but his struggles in 2026 have raised doubts about his future.

Aston Villa have ‘no intention’ of stopping their hunt and Gian Piero Gasperini would have no objection to Sol’s exit. He is disappointed with how the 23-year-old suffered muscle injuries and did not have enough impact on the flow of the game. Young players in Italy generally have less patience than those in England.

Roma’s current demand is €35m. They are hoping Unai Emery’s side will step up and produce something like that. The manager, in particular, is said to be a huge fan of the Argentine.

Sole himself is waiting to know his fate. He finds himself in uncertainty and everything will depend on how much the lovers offer.

The deal may prove to be a profitable deal

Even though Sole has suffered from physical problems, his quality cannot be questioned. He has contributed at least ten league goals for two clubs in the last three Serie A seasons. He can also help positions, being a natural number ten.

This makes him an asset for Aston Villa, who like players who are a threat on the break. Sole is quick and adept in one-to-one situations, he has a very reliable left foot. He’s unpredictable and very good in tight spots.

Signing him for €35m could prove to be an excellent deal.

liverpool Tottenham Hotspur’s Randal will challenge Juventus in their pursuit of Kolo Muani in the summer.

Last summer, Tottenham took the striker on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, who refused to return him to Juventus.

Tottenham have no obligation or option to make his stay permanent, and he must return to PSG. The 27-year-old could remain in the Premier League by switching to Liverpool.

Arne Slot’s side have not been weakened by their failure to impress for Tottenham in the league.

The frontman’s Premier League statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 25
• Total minutes: 1,382
• Target: 1
• Help: 1
• Expected target: 1.89
• Expected Support: 1.49

On Tuesday, Sports Witness Covered claims from Italy That the Reds have joined the race to sign him is bad news for Juventus.

Liverpool complicate matters for Juventus

gazzetta dello sport Pick it up now and cover the latest on the Anfield club and the Old Lady.

The newspaper says Liverpool are considering Randle Kolo Muani to replace Mohamed Salah, who will depart after this season.

‘Alarm bells are ringing’ at Juventus as Liverpool ‘have shown intense interest’ in the France international.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at the Turin club, failing to extend his stay. This allowed Tottenham to sign him, but the Serie A team are pursuing him again in the summer. He has always expressed his desire to join the Italian club.

Gazzetta say the striker earns €7m a year and is valued at €35m, and both are within Juve’s reach. Matters have been complicated by the Merseyside club’s involvement in the race.

Liverpool’s solid interest in Kolo Muani forces Juventus to make a counter-move. The latter have no choice but to accelerate contact with their camp to try to defeat the Reds.

Champions League qualification will make it relatively easy for Juventus to fend off competition from Liverpool. They are now fourth in the table and five points ahead of fifth-placed Como.

Our view: Kolo Muani will replace Ekitike as the mainstay

Randal Kolo Muani has operated primarily as a number 9 and has operated on both wings at times.

Mohamed Salah’s preferred role at Liverpool is on the right wing and therefore, it makes no sense to replace the Tottenham Hotspur man in his place.

Meanwhile, Kolo Munai could be a suitable replacement for Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike, who will be out for a long time after suffering a serious setback earlier this month.

newcastle united It is once again being linked to a move by Jose Mourinho. However, reports coming out of Portugal continue to strongly oppose this idea.

The Premier League side are expected to assess their managerial situation in the summer. This is especially true with Eddie Howe facing scrutiny after an inconsistent season.

This has led to new claims in the British press that Mourinho is among the leading candidates to take over.

However, As we have covered beforeThe picture emerging from Portugal is once again much more dismissive of that scenario.

Portuguese reports refute Newcastle’s new claims

Both game And record Let us clarify that these latest links originate from England. They are not supported by any concrete development.

The report cites British coverage which claims Newcastle could make a move for Mourinho if changes are made this summer, with the Benfica manager being placed high on the club’s shortlist. Andoni Ierola has also been mentioned as an alternative option under consideration.

The important thing is that the Portuguese position is consistent. There is no approach, and no indication from Mourinho that he is entertaining the move.

Instead, it is seen as another recurring cycle of speculation rather than a transfer story with real traction.

Mourinho is already planning for next season at Benfica

Jose Mourinho is currently under contract at SL Benfica until 2027. Although there is a clause allowing both parties to part ways at the end of the season, this possibility is not shaping their current thinking.

According to Portuguese reports, Mourinho is already preparing for next season and is fully focused on building a team capable of winning the league.

That commitment is reflected in another key detail. He is said to be pushing for a contract renewal, indicating a desire to extend his stay rather than leave. Benfica president Rui Costa sees no urgency in formalizing a new deal at the moment. However, internal planning is already underway.

This combination of further planning and contract discussions reinforces the idea that Mourinho’s focus remains firmly in Lisbon.

The context behind Mourinho’s stance

Jose Mourinho’s position is mostly influenced by how Benfica’s season has unfolded. They are currently third in the league, seven points behind Porto. Now only five matches are left.

His campaign involved several setbacks. They were knocked out a short time later by Real Madrid in the Champions League playoffs. battered by newcastle In the league stage. They were also eliminated in the Portuguese Cup against Porto and the League Cup against Braga.

Those results did not live up to expectations. As a result, next season has taken on greater importance, and Mourinho himself seems determined to lead that response.

What does this mean for Newcastle United

As for Newcastle United, Mourinho’s name is likely to come up while there remains uncertainty over Eddie Howe.

However, there are huge differences between British reports and Portuguese information. This idea is gaining attention in England. In Portugal this is being considered as speculation without facts.

As things stand, there is no sign of any movement from Mourinho. On the contrary, all signs point towards continuity, with the manager focused on Benfica and even seeking to extend his stay.

This forces Newcastle to look elsewhere for now, unless something changes significantly in the coming months.

Phares Gedzemis is having an impressive season so far at Frosinone. Celtic moved for the attacker in January and have been given the hope of a summer deal.

In the winter transfer window, sports witness Celtic’s approach to the winger was widely covered. The Scottish giants made a formal offer but Frosinone immediately rejected it, as they had little time to find a replacement.

Throughout the campaign, Gedzemis has played 32 times in all competitions and has been instrumental in their push for promotion. He has made 12 goals, scoring against South Tyrol in Serie B at the weekend and also scored against Cesena earlier this month.

It’s all likely to attract more attention than ever before and the 23-year-old’s agent has opened up about his future.

Celtic offer rejected in January

Phares Ghedjemis’ agent Fabrizio Ferrari spoke at a Palermo football meeting on Tuesday evening. He discussed many of his clients, one of whom was the Frosinone star. He revealed that a possible approach from Celtic was rejected in January.

When asked about a possible renewal, Ferrari said – relayed by tuttomerkatoweb: : “Renewal? This option was already present in the contract signed with Frosinone that it was their right to exercise.”

Speaking about how things were two months ago, the agent revealed that Gedzemis himself had turned down a move, but with a view to a move in the summer.

“There were rumors in the market about him in January? He really wanted to end the season with promotion. That was the guy’s intention, with Frosinone potentially monetizing the operation in the summer.”

Ferrari’s comments indicate that the player’s future is likely to be in question in the summer.

The deal may not prove easy for Celtic

The way things are going for the Algerian, he is likely to attract plenty of interest in the summer. Serie A clubs may also start to pay attention to Fares Ghedjemis’s performances, even if Frosinone remains in Serie B.

That’s why Celtic need to be cautious with this move otherwise they could potentially have to overpay.

Frosinone paid €300k to sign the winger in 2024 and would like to make as much as possible from a sale. No matter what department they find themselves in, they wouldn’t mind going to auction for their key assets.

Tottenham Hotspur plan to compete with Newcastle United for RC Lens goalkeeper Robin Riser.

Both Tottenham and Newcastle United are looking for new stoppers in the summer and Risser is also on their list.

The Ligue 1 side signed him from RC Strasbourg in July 2021, and the goalkeeper has been their No. 1 this season.

He has kept 11 clean sheets and conceded 27 goals in 29 matches in all competitions and 26 in the league. Below are his statistics from Ligue 1 with Lens.

• Goals conceded per game: 09
• Penalties saved: 2/5
• Shots on target: 84
• Saves: 64
• Saving Percentage: 74.4%
• Goals Prevented: 6.46

Spurs and Magpies keen on signing

The 21-year-old’s form for Lens has already attracted interest from Newcastle United and now Tottenham have also joined the race. is according to young footballerWho make it clear that this is their own information about Robin Riser.

Tottenham have Guglielmo Vicario as the No. 1, with Antonin Kinski and Brandon Austin as his backups.

Igor Tudor started Kinski in Spurs’ 5-2 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid last week and replaced him after 17 minutes. The 23-year-old Czech could leave the north London club after this season.

Inter Milan are working on signing Vicario from Tottenham and their sporting director Piero Ausilio has flown to London. On Thursday, Sports Witness broadcast news Ausilio’s visit is to accelerate transfer talks with the north London club.

Jeunes Fauteux took note of Vicario’s situation and said that Spurs are ‘no longer hiding their intentions’ of needing a new stopper. This has seen him focus his attention on the riser, and Tudor’s side have made solid inquiries despite ‘stiff competition’ from the Magpies.

Robin Riser’s contract, value and agent information

The France U21 international is under contract until 2030. its value, according to transfer marketThe deal in June 2025 was €1.5 million. Since moving to Lens, it has grown significantly and is now worth €10 million.

However, the Ligue 1 side would require a much higher fee than that to part ways with him in the summer as the game witnesses Covered Claims Yesterday Lens set a price of €30-40m.

Carmenta, headed by French agent Joseph Mohan, represents the goalkeeper, and the representative has 16 clients. However, none of them are currently in the UK.

Southampton defender Yukinari Sugawara has strongly hinted that he would welcome a permanent move to Werder Bremen, with family happiness emerging as a deciding factor in his thinking.

Bild Hamburg covered the 25-year-old’s comments today. He shared a funny anecdote about his life at the Germa Club, including his daughter’s hatred of his beard.

Sugawara arrived at Werder Bremen last summer primarily as cover for the back line dealing with injury concerns. Instead, he has become a regular and reliable presence.

He has already made 23 Bundesliga appearances, logging 1,935 minutes, while providing four assists and helping the team record five clean sheets.

From squad depth to defensive mainstay

He has been a key player so far, registering four assists and creating several chances, while also contributing to five clean sheets at the other end.

BILD report that he is the ‘most reliable’ of the seven players currently on loan at the club.

The loan deal includes an option for Werder to purchase Sugawara permanently for around €6m.

While reports have indicated that they will be Will be happy to pay it, The rescuer has accepted him There is concern that the German side may not tolerate him.

Family happiness motivates decisions

In the meantime, he has settled in at the club with his family. BILD reports that he ‘feels at home’ in Bremen. It’s a sentiment shared by his family, although his daughter has one complaint.

“My daughter hates my beard. She has told me this many times over the years,” he said.

“That’s why I recently shaved it. But my beard is quite thick. After two or three days, it grows back again. And I don’t want to waste time shaving every day. When I shaved it the other day, my daughter had tears in her eyes and she said, ‘Daddy, I love you so much without the beard.’

“Maybe I’ll shave again on Thursday. Not for the game, but for my daughter. She’s number one, she’s in charge.”

“It takes me ten to fifteen minutes just to shave. And I have to stand in front of the mirror while I’m doing it. And I have to moisturize my skin. In total, it’s 30 minutes. Doing that three or four times a week, I don’t want to do that. I’m a little lazy. But I’ll do it for my daughter.”

Southampton’s promotion push puts final decision

Whether Sugawara stays in Germany will depend on what happens at Southampton this season.

Failure to secure promotion to the Premier League would certainly prompt the Saints to accept the deal proposed by Bremen, even if it is less than the previously agreed €6m deal.

But with Southampton just three points outside the top six at this point, there’s every chance they could slip back into the top flight. And he will, perhaps, leave any decisions about Sugawara until the end of the season.

Nottingham Forest negotiated the loan of Arnaud Kalimuendo to Eintracht Frankfurt in January as a strong defense. Just a few weeks later, that security already appears to be under quiet pressure.

according to Image Frankfurt, The Bundesliga side secured a purchase option for the 24-year-old forward worth around £23.2m (€27m). This was an important section, structured by sporting director Markus Kroesch during the winter window.

At the time, the figure gave Nottingham Forest clarity. If Frankfurt were satisfied, they could trigger the option. If not, the player will be returned. Easy. However, the situation now looks less straightforward.

Kalimuendo made an immediate impact in Germany. He has scored three goals and added one assist in his first eight Bundesliga appearances. Recently he also scored a goal in the 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich. Internally, both the board and head coach Albert Riera are said to be very pleased with his performances.

Individual conditions are not a hindrance. contract till 2031 reportedly agreed in principleThe basic salary is approximately £2.6m per year (€3m). From a sporting and contractual perspective, the groundwork is in place.

Consent on option – delay in decision

Despite this, BILD reports that Frankfurt does not intend to make a final decision until May. The delay has been agreed with the players and their representatives, with all parties focusing on football for the time being.

The financial context is important. If Frankfurt fails to qualify for European competition, it will be much more difficult to commit more than £23 million on a player. That uncertainty shifts the focus back to fees.

Importantly, Krosh has a reputation as a tough negotiator. The report suggests that even if Frankfurt reaches Europe, they may still consider resuming price discussions. If the forest were removed, that leverage would only increase.

What does this mean for nottingham forest

On the Nottingham Forest side, the provision of £23.2 million was to resolve the ambiguity. There are options to avoid this type of scenario – strong performance leads to new deals.

Now, this clause could become the starting point for another round of talks, rather than being a definitive outcome. Frankfurt clearly wants to keep Kalimuendo. The player wants to stay. Yet the agreed figure is no longer presented as inevitable.

Nottingham Forest negotiated in good faith in January. The coming months will reveal whether that agreement holds – or whether Frankfurt’s strong desire to renegotiate the numbers turns a direct option into summer negotiations.

There is also a belief in Frankfurt that forest removal could help in achieving lower tariffs.
