Talks ongoing: Fabrizio Romano provides update on €40m Chelsea transfer saga

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the situation surrounding Chelsea defender Renato Veiga, who is attracting plenty of interest.

It looks like the talented young Portugal international is highly likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, despite only joining a year ago.

Veiga did not get off to the best start at Chelsea with some disagreements over his best playing position, and he ended up joining Juventus on loan in January.

It now seems the €40m-rated 21-year-old is attracting interest from big clubs such as Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid this summer, according to Romano in his latest post on X…

Should Chelsea really be selling Renato Veiga?

Chelsea fans will likely have mixed feelings about the potential departure of Veiga, who looks like a player who remains very highly regarded around Europe.

Capable of playing both centre-back and left-back, there’s surely room for Veiga in this CFC squad, but it seems it’s over for him in west London.

Christian Falk has also written about Bayern’s interest in Veiga in his latest column for CF Bayern Insider, and it will be interesting to see if the youngster can revive his career there.

Chelsea have some high-profile sales they’d like to forget

Chelsea might not value Veiga that highly right now, but if he goes on to have a strong career at a big club like Bayern or Atletico, then this could end up looking like a big mistake.
