Chelsea’s Veiga agrees Juventus loan move

Juventus to sign Chelsea defender Renato Veiga on loan until the end of the season.

The Italian club have agreed to cover the Portugal’s international’s wages and pay a £3.8m loan fee.

No option to buy has include in the deal.

Veiga only joined Chelsea in an £11.8m deal in July from Swiss club Basel.

Sources close to the player said. He grew frustrated playing at left-back, preferring to be used at centre-back.

Juventus now expecte to reach the finish line ahead of their competitors in their attempts to sign Renato Veiga from Chelsea.

The Bianconeri have been searching the market for new defenders after losing Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal to season-ending injuries. While Danilo already has one foot outside the door.

The Portuguese defender will reportedly sign for the Serie A giants on a dry loan until the end of the season for 4.5 million euros. But while the sum might seem excessive for a six-month deal, the good news for Juventus is that the Blues have agreed to cover the player’s full salary during his stay in Turin, in addition to agent fees.

Chelsea believe he will get more minutes in Italy with the player ambitious to stay in Portugal’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Juventus have beaten โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที Champions League rivals Borussia Dortmund to Veiga’s signing.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca had urged Veiga to stay last week, saying: “If there is a player who just wants to play in one position, they’re going to struggle.”

Veiga has made just one Premier League start this season in 18 appearances in all competitions.
