Chelsea reveals transfer fee they're willing to accept for sale of Renato Veiga in the summer: Reports

Chelsea have reportedly informed Serie A giants Juventus of their asking price for defender Renato Veiga ahead of a possible summer move. The Portugal international joined the Italian outfit on a short-term loan deal in the January transfer window and has enjoyed an impressive start to life in Italy.

Renato Veiga made it clear to Chelsea in January that he wanted to feature regularly at centre-back, his preferred position, and was open to moving elsewhere. The Blues received offers from a handful of clubs but reached an agreement with Juventus, who agreed to pay around €5 million for the 21-year-old.

Calciomercato reports that Chelsea have now revealed to Juventus that they will be open to selling the former FC Basel man for €30 million. The report indicates that both clubs will soon commence talks over the possibility of a permanent transfer for the youngster.

Juventus manager Thiago Motta has been hugely impressed with the performances of Veiga in defence, with the youngster starting four games for the Bianconeri. The Italian side have won all four games with Veiga at the back, with the versatile youngster showing his quality as a centre-back.

The Blues previously planned for Renato Veiga to return in June ahead of their FIFA Club World Cups campaign in the USA. They are now prepared to allow the defender to move permanently for more than double the €14 million they paid to FC Basel last summer.

Juventus will try to negotiate a season-long loan for Veiga that will include an option or obligation to buy at the end of the 2025-26 season. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has indicated in the past that he rates Veiga very highly and may play a role in shaping the youngster's future.
