Renato Veiga recently talked about his Sporting exit and joining Chelsea. The 21-year-old is currently enjoying life in Premier League. The left-back has gone on to become a solid back-up option under Enzo Maresca. He provides the squad with excellent depth. At the same time, he is quite fluid and able to play in different positions. We have seen him star in the midfield and also score for the Blues. He has the potential to be a great player. At the same time, he is merely 21. So, he has more than enough time ahead of him to grow and prosper.
Renato Veiga talks about Sporting exit
The 21-year-old joined from Sporting this summer. As per wikipedia, the transfer fee was somewhere around €14 million. He spent 13 long years with Sporting before making the move. As per tribuna, Renato Veiga stressed the lack of game time as the major reason for leaving Sporting. At the same time, he said that coach Ruben Amorim did not trust him enough to play him. Considering how well he is doing now, Amorim will be kicking his own foot. Meanwhile, the left-back will be keen to become a regular at his new club.
What’s next for the 21-year-old?
He competes with Marc Cucurella for a position in the starting XI. So, it might be a little while before he starts for the Blues. But, at the same time, he is quite versatile. As a result, we might see him making more appearances from the bench. Also, Renato Veiga hasn’t won a national cap yet. So, the full-back will be keen to make his debut with Portugal. For now, the aim would be to work hard in training and get as much game time as possible. Hopefully, he will become a starter for club and country very soon.
