Juventus in talks with Chelsea for young defender

 

Juventus have reportedly joined Borussia Dortmund in the race to sign young Chelsea defender Renato Veiga. ............

 

Over the past few weeks, their main options have been Fikayo Tomori, David Hancko, Antonio Silva and Ronald Araujo, but they haven’t been able to find the breakthrough on any of these tracks for various reasons.

 

Therefore, new names have surfaced on the scene in recent days, including the likes of Lilian Brassier and Thomas Kristensen.

Juventus have set their sights on Veiga who is seeing little playing time at Chelsea.

 

The 21-year-old is a Sporting CP youth product who had his breakout campaign last season at FC Basel, which earned him a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer. The Portuguese is a centre-back by trade, but is being deployed at left-back by Enzo Maresca, and often making appearances in the Conference League and the other cup competitions. ............

 

Moreover, Juventus are simultaneously following Newcastle United’s Lloyd Kelly, reveals Romano. After all, one new defender would not suffice at this stage.

 

On Sunday, reports claimed that the Bianconeri are keen to sign the 26-year-old who has yet to cement himself as a regular starter with the Magpies. ............

Juventus’ Double Defensive Mission: Giuntoli Targets Kelly and Veiga as Chelsea Eye Douglas Luiz

 

Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is on a dual mission to bolster the club’s defence before the transfer window closes. The Bianconeri are pursuing Newcastle’s Lloyd Kelly and Chelsea’s Renato Veiga, with Giuntoli recently traveling to London to accelerate negotiations.

 

Progress has been made in talks for Kelly, who offers versatility as both a full-back and centre-back. Newcastle have opened the door for a loan with an option to buy, but Juventus is cautious about exceeding their budget. The English defender’s ability to play multiple positions makes him an attractive target for the Italian giants.

 

Simultaneously, discussions are ongoing with Chelsea regarding Portuguese defender Renato Veiga. During these negotiations, the name of Douglas Luiz has emerged as a point of interest for the London club. Chelsea is keen on a loan deal for the Brazilian midfielder, while Juventus prefers a permanent transfer to generate funds. ............

 

Amidst these defensive pursuits, Juventus is also finalizing the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani. Giuntoli expressed optimism about the transfer, stating, “I believe everything will be resolved shortly. They’re completing the final documents, and we should have it done by tomorrow at the latest.” ............

 

Giuntoli emphasized the club’s focus on strengthening rather than selling. “We don’t want to conduct outgoing transfers, but rather enhance the squad”. ............

Juventus, Chelsea agree to loan deal for Renato Veiga

 

For the second time in a week, Juventus have turned toward the country of Portugal to provide themselves with some much-needed depth in defense.

 

This one, however, is much more of a short-term fix.

 

Juventus and Chelsea have agreed to a short-term loan deal for Portuguese defender Renato Veiga. The 21-year-old center back who can also play on the left had only signed with Chelsea from FC Basel last summer in a move worth €14 million, but he had only made a combined 13 appearances between the Premier League and the UEFA Conference League, thus making him very much available to make a January loan move. Juventus reportedly beat out the likes of Borussia Dortmund and others to secure Veiga’s services through the second half of the 2024-25 season.

 

Juventus will reportedly pay a loan fee of around €4.5-€5 million to secure Veiga’s services for the next six months — which probably speaks more to the Bianconeri’s desperation to finally secure an option behind Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu more than anything else. Chelsea are reportedly covering Veiga’s salary for the next six months and agent fees. ............

 

Veiga would simply give Juventus manager Thiago Motta an alternative to Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu — who have played the most minutes out of any Juve players in all competitions this season. ............

Renato Veiga set to join Juventus on loan - but he'll be back at Chelsea in the summer

 

 Juventus will pay a €5 million (£3.8m/$5.2m) loan fee for Veiga’s services, with an additional €1m potentially due in bonuses based on performance. The agreement does not include a purchase option, ensuring Veiga’s eventual return to Chelsea later this year. ............

 

Chelsea had indicated their willingness to loan out Veiga, provided that both playing opportunities and financial terms were met. While Marseille and Borussia Dortmund were among the clubs initially interested in securing Veiga, Juventus ultimately met the criteria laid out by the Premier League side to lure him to Turin. ............

 

Veiga has struggled to secure consistent playing time at Chelsea. Despite making 18 appearances for the Blues this season, he has only started one Premier League match. Most of his contributions have come in the Conference League. ............

Chelsea’s Veiga expected in Turin today to complete Juventus loan

 

 

Renato Veiga is expected to arrive in Turin today, with Juventus ready to announce him as their new January reinforcement after reaching an agreement with Chelsea upon a loan deal.

 

After signing Alberto Costa from Vitoria SC about 10 days ago, the Bianconeri kept working to provide coach Thiago Motta with another player in a department plagued by serious injuries.

 

Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday afternoon that the 21-year-old is expected to travel from England to Turin later in the day, as Juventus are ready to make his signing official. ............

 

Romano also confirmed the Old Lady will pay around €5m for the straight loan, while the Premier League giants will keep paying the player’s salary for the next months before welcoming him back to Stamford Bridge in the summer. ............

OFFICIAL: Juventus Sign Renato Veiga

 

 

Juventus have officially announced the signing of Renato Veiga, a promising defender from Chelsea, as they bolster their squad for the remainder of the season. Following successful medical examinations at JMedical, Veiga is now set to wear the number 12 jersey, previously held by Alex Sandro.

 

The agreement between Juventus and Chelsea involves a dry loan arrangement valued at €3.8 million, with additional costs amounting to €200,000. Performance-related bonuses could increase the total fee to €5.5 million by June 30, 2026. This strategic move comes as Juventus aims to strengthen their defensive line, particularly after recent injuries to key players. ............

.

His versatility allows him to play both as a center-back and left-back, making him an ideal fit for Juventus’s current needs.

Veiga’s arrival is seen as a significant boost for Juventus, who have experienced injuries to defenders Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal. His ability to adapt to various defensive roles will provide much-needed depth as the team competes on multiple fronts. ............

The numbers behind Renato Veiga’s Juventus debut: Solid defensive stats

 

 

Renato Veiga made his full debut for Juventus during their encouraging 4-1 victory over Empoli in Serie A on Sunday in what was a defensively sound display from the Chelsea loanee on his first start in Italy. ............

 

He was left out of the team for the 2-0 loss to Benfica in the Champions League midweek, but was given the nod by Thiago Motta for his first Bianconeri appearance against Empoli on Sunday instead. ............

 

 

The Portugal international made three successful tackles during his first Juve match with a 100% completion rate and made four clearances and one interception over the 90 minutes. He was not dribbled past once during the Empoli match, nor was he dispossessed. 

 

Veiga also won three of his four aerial duels for a percentage of 75%.

 

Renato Veiga also had a 85% pass completion rate. ............

 

He was also in control of the ball for 5.6% of the Empoli game. Of the Juventus players, only Koopmeiners and Manuel Locatelli spent more time on the ball.

Renato Veiga: The New Leader Emerging at Juventus

 

 

In just three matches, Renato Veiga has already made a significant impression on Juventus fans. It’s his Socrates-like mustache, his passionate celebrations to rouse the crowd, or his consistently precise long passes, the 21-year-old Portuguese defender has quickly become a standout figure for the Bianconeri. ............

 

Initially compared to Riccardo Calafiori, Veiga’s performance against PSV in the Champions League playoff actually drew comparisons to Leonardo Bonucci, particularly for his ability to launch accurate long passes to the wings.

 

Statistics show that against PSV, Veiga attempted 16 long-range passes, completing 13 and helping Juventus gain over 500 meters of field position. While it’s early to draw definitive comparisons, in his first 270 minutes for Juventus, Veiga has averaged 6.3 long passes per game, covering an average progressive distance of 332 meters. This surpasses Bonucci’s career average at Juventus of three accurate long passes per game for an average progressive distance of 156 meters. ............

 

He has shown remarkable passion and commitment on the pitch. Early in the PSV match, he encouraged the Curva Sud to raise the volume after winning a throw-in in the attacking zone. In the 92nd minute, following a crucial defensive intervention, he celebrated with the fans as if he had scored a goal. ............

Renato Veiga ‘followed’ Juventus before transfer from Chelsea

 

 

New Juventus defender Renato Veiga admits he ‘followed’ the Bianconeri before joining them in the January transfer window and insists they’ll play ‘to win’ against Inter on Sunday.

 

Portuguese defender Veiga has already made three Juventus appearances since joining the Old Lady on loan from Chelsea during the winter transfer window. ............

 

“It’s still very new. The team welcomed me very well,” Veiga said. ............

 

“Everyone knows Juventus for their history and the amazing players who have played here, including Portuguese players. I knew a lot of things. I also followed the team because there are players I look up to.”

 

The Serie A giants host their rivals Inter at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday.

 

“It’s a big game, and we need to win because we are Juventus, and it’s the next game,” said Veiga.

 

“We go in every game to win, and that’s what we’ll try to do. ............

 

Veiga joined Juventus on a dry loan deal from Chelsea, which means the Bianconeri do not have an option to make his move permanent. ............

Juventus has to make Renato Veiga’s loan move permanent

 

 

Renato Veiga is one of the key players Juventus secured during the January transfer window, and the Portugal star has been nothing short of a revelation since his arrival. The young defender had struggled to establish himself as a regular at Chelsea, which led to the decision to allow his departure to Juventus earlier this month.

 

Upon his arrival, Veiga was immediately thrust into the Bianconeri’s first-team plans, and he has quickly adapted to his new surroundings, showing steady improvement in every game. His performance against Inter Milan, in particular, stood out as he was arguably the best centre-back on the pitch. He handled the Inter attack, which was brimming with speed, physicality, and technical ability, with impressive composure and skill. ............

 

With his loan spell set to end in the summer, the club must make efforts to secure him as a permanent member of their squad.

 

Veiga’s qualities appear to be a perfect fit for Italian football, and his style of play aligns well with the tactical approach that coach Thiago Motta seeks from his centre-backs. ............
