Borussia Dortmund now interested in £35m Chelsea defender

With only a few days left before the new Premier League season begins, Chelsea are gearing up for their opening game against Crystal Palace on Sunday. However, their transfer operations seem to be far from over, as the Blues still have some business left to do, both in terms of incomings and outgoings. With that being said, reports are coming that a new suitor has emerged for a player who is expected to depart the summer window closes.

However, he struggled to establish himself as a regular in the starting XI, and decided to leave the club during the January window in order to play consistent football in his preferred position of centre-back. He got that at Juventus.

Veiga spent the second half of the season on loan at Juventus and impressed during his brief stint. In the eyes of many, the Portuguese international should now be brought back into the first-team fold, especially after Levi Colwill’s injury.

The player we’re talking about is Renato Veiga. He joined Chelsea from FC Basel for around €14m last year and has appeared in 18 games for the Blues, scoring twice.

Earlier this summer, the Portuguese defender’s transfer to Atletico Madrid fell through, whilst Bayern Munich have also been linked. Furthermore, after being impressed by his half-season loan spell earlier this year, Juventus have also renewed their interest in signing him. And now a new club have joined the race to sign the 22-year-old.
