Chelsea announcement coming – Portuguese star says YES to summer move

CHELSEA star Renato Veiga has agreed to leave the club this summer, as he has reportedly said yes to a move to Athletico Madrid.

The club bought Veiga from Basel in June last year for £12m, with the highly-rated 21-year-old signing a contract until 2031, and many were hoping that he could become a real regular starter in the side.

Capable of playing left-back, centre-back and defensive midfield, he made 18 appearances under Enzo Maresca, most of which in the Conference League and the domestic cups.

Due to the lack of minutes, Veiga was loaned out to Juventus in January and instantly became a first-team regular for the Serie A giants, before ending the season as a Nations League winner with Portugal.

The Blues have been asking for £35m to sell Veiga, with a number of clubs being reported to be interested in the Portugal international, and One of those sides is Atletico Madrid, and it looks as if the player is coming round to the idea of joining the La Liga giants.

The Standard say the two clubs are in talks over a deal for the Portugal international whom Chelsea value at upwards of £35m, while there is also interest from Juventus and Bayern Munich.

IcChelseanews says…

Veiga is a wonderful talent right? He is the type of player that could really develop if he is given the time and patience to do so, so it is very sad to see that he now wants out of the club as he could be brilliant for us.

He may not have his fans here, but he is a player that we feel needs the chance to prove himself here.
