Chelsea announcement made confirming Portuguese star has completed move!

by admin · 28 January 2025

CHELSEA have officially confirmed that defender Renato Veiga has joined Italian giants Juventus on loan until the end of the season.

Veiga joined Chelsea in a £12 million deal from Swiss side Basel last summer but he has been unable to secure a regular role in the team under Enzo Maresca, the 21-year-old barely played any minutes in the Premier League and the majority of his playing time has been in the Conference League.

The Blues posted on the clubs website: Chelsea defender Renato Veiga will spend the remainder of the season on loan at Serie A side Juventus.

‘Veiga joined the Blues in July from FC Basel and made 18 appearances in all competitions this season.

‘We look forward to supporting his development throughout the loan.

‘Good luck, Renato!’

Veiga has been decent for the Blues this season and many fans believed that he had the potential to take his game to that next level and become a top top player for Chelsea, so the news that he has now left on loan will be a massive shock for many fans to take.

However – he wants to play on a regular basis and not just in cup competitions, so it is easy to see why he wanted to leave Chelsea this January in search for game time, and to be honest, Juventus is a great move for the lad.

We have seen in recent seasons that Seria A is a great place to develop and many talents are going there to get the minutes that they desire, so even though his CHELSEA dream could be over, this move will probably be the best decision for the lad to make.

If he impresses enough at Juventus, we are sure that a move will be made to make the deal more permanent.
