Chelsea have agreed to a permanent transfer for Renato Veiga, with the club setting a price of approximately €30 million. The 22-year-old defender, who prefers to play as a centre-back rather than a left-back, is expected to join Borussia Dortmund.
Transfer Details
Chelsea have decided to accommodate Veiga’s request for a permanent exit, rather than a loan move. This decision comes after Veiga expressed his desire to play in his preferred position as a centre-back.
Agreement with Borussia Dortmund
A full agreement has been reached between Borussia Dortmund and Veiga regarding the contract and project, paving the way for his move to the Bundesliga club.
Background
Veiga joined Chelsea in July 2024, but his time at the club has been short-lived. Despite interest from other clubs, such as Napoli, who considered a loan move, Chelsea have opted for a permanent transfer.
Veiga’s style of play is characterised by his defensive capabilities and versatility, which have made him a valuable asset in the backline. His move to Dortmund is expected to provide him with the opportunity to play in his preferred role.
