Juventus have engaged in discussions to secure the services of Renato Veiga and Lloyd Kelly, as revealed in recent reports. The Italian club is keen to outbid Borussia Dortmund for Veiga, who is currently with Chelsea. Dortmund had already submitted an official loan offer to Chelsea last week, aiming to bring the player to Germany.
Renato Veiga’s Situation
Renato Veiga, a player for Chelsea, was notably absent from the bench as Juventus intensifies their efforts to sign him. The 22-year-old midfielder has been the subject of interest from both Juventus and Borussia Dortmund. Veiga, who has previously expressed reluctance to leave Chelsea permanently, is now at the centre of a potential loan move.
Lloyd Kelly’s Prospective Move
Juventus are also pursuing Lloyd Kelly, following Newcastle United’s rejection of a loan bid. Kelly, a defender, is being targeted by the Italian club as they look to strengthen their squad. The negotiations for Kelly are part of Juventus’ broader strategy to enhance their defensive options.
Background and Context
- On 19 January, it was reported that Juventus and Dortmund were both interested in Veiga.
- Juventus’ interest in Kelly emerged after Newcastle turned down their initial loan proposal.
- Veiga had previously been linked with a permanent move to Dortmund, which he declined.
The ongoing negotiations highlight Juventus’ determination to bolster their team with strategic signings during the transfer window.
