Renato Veiga’s Impending Departure from Chelsea
Fabrizio Romano has shed light on the future of Chelsea defender Renato Veiga, indicating a likely departure this summer. The 21-year-old Portugal international, who joined Chelsea just a year ago, has struggled to cement his place in the team, leading to a loan spell at Juventus in January.
European Heavyweights Circle
Veiga’s talent has attracted attention from Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, with Chelsea reportedly seeking over €40m for the versatile defender. Romano’s update suggests that talks are ongoing, with a permanent move anticipated since June.
Chelsea’s Dilemma
The potential sale of Veiga raises questions about Chelsea’s strategy, especially given the player’s high regard in European football circles. Capable of playing both centre-back and left-back, Veiga’s departure could be reminiscent of past sales that Chelsea later regretted, such as Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne.
