Juventus has join the race to sign one Chelsea star this month. The star is very young and versatile and is already been heavily looked upon by German giants.
The star in question here is Renato Veiga who joined the Blues in summer. The West London club paid £12 million to land him from FC Basel. He is mainly a centre back but can also play as full back on both sides. In addition, he can even play as midfielder in deeper parts of the field.
Enzo Maresca made Veiga his backup left back. The Portugese has been part of Chelsea’s B team that plays in domestic cups and Conference league games. As a result, he has played only 177 minutes in Premier League so far.
Due to lack of game time, Veiga has been linked with away move this month. He has been looked upon by Borussia Dortmund who are keen to sign him on loan. The 21 year old is also prepared to move away from Stamford Bridge to play regularly.
Juventus join the race to sign Renato Veiga
Fabrizio Romano has now reported that Juventus have joined the race to sign Veiga this month. He added that the Old Lady have already opened up talks with Chelsea. Lastly, Romano said that Dortmund are also in talks and have even sent initial proposal last week.
The Blues want to keep Veiga with them atleast until summer. They are very likely to part ways with Ben Chilwell which means Veiga will be the only backup for Marc Cucurella. Maresca has used Reece James as left back but it is not his preferred position.
Romano also added that along with Veiga, Juve are also keeping tabs on Lloyd Kelly. The Old Lady are desperate to sign defenders due to current injury crisis at the club. Veiga will get to play in his preferred centre back position at Turin.
