One Chelsea star has finally moved away from West London on loan until the end of the season. He was being chased by multiple clubs since a long time and finally the transfer saga has ended.
The Blues have a vast squad depth which makes them powerful in times of injuries and suspensions. However, it is hard for all the players to play regularly. This made some stars unhappy who are willing to move away this month.
One of the star who has been upset with lack of game time is Renato Veiga. The 21 year old defender joined the Blues only in summer from FC Basel. The West London club paid £12 million to secure his signature.
However, Veiga has not been able to get into the starting lineup constantly. He often plays in Chelsea’s B team featuring in Domestic Cups and Conference League. The 21 year old has played only 177 minutes of football in Premier League.
Veiga was being linked with away move since the start of January window. The Blues wanted to keep him but the 21 year was keen to move away. Later, the defender said that he just wants to leave on loan to play regularly.
Chelsea agree deal with Juventus for Renato Veiga
Veiga was being looked upon by multiple clubs across whole Europe. Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that Juventus have finally agreed deal with the Blues for the 21 year old. Chelsea will receive €5 million as loan fee. The deal will run until the end of the season and there will be no buy option inserted.
Veiga is a centre-back by nature. However, he was used as left-back by Enzo Maresca. Now, the 21 year old is expected to play in his natural centre-back position at Juventus. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea keep Ben Chilwell now or sign another left-back.
