Renato Veiga pushing for shock Chelsea exit just six months after arrival amid Borussia Dortmund transfer interest in £29m-rated defender

<p>The Blues <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/renato-veiga-chelsea-transfer-midfielder-basel-seven-year-contract/blt296b06e6f6efeadd" target="_blank">spent €14 million (£12m/$15m) to land Veiga from FC Basel</a> in the summer, but they are now prepared to sell him after just six months as Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund push to sign him, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6057471/2025/01/13/renato-veiga-chelsea-january-transfer/" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a>. The report adds that Chelsea are willing to let the defender leave only on a permanent transfer and will demand a fee in the region of £29m ($36m) and include a sell-on clause.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 21-year-old Portuguese defender wishes to have more game time under his belt and also wants to play as a central back more regularly, which is his natural position. Enzo Maresca has primarily used Veiga as a left full-back and in midfield at Stamford Bridge in the 2024-25 campaign. He made only seven Premier League appearances thus far and clocked just 174 minutes on the pitch.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Per <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1878542060258517054" target="_blank"><em>Fabrizio Romano</em></a>, the player has agreed personal terms with the German club who will now negotiate the details of the transfer with the Premier League giants. Other than Dortmund, the Blues have also received offers from clubs in Italy, France and England. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After a thumping 5-0 win over Morecambe in the FA Cup on Saturday, Maresca's side will be back in action in the Premier League on Tuesday as they take on Bournemouth at home.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
