Chelsea was about to part with the 11th player in the summer of 2025 when Villarreal agreed to sign the club's record contract to sign a contract with a forgotten star at the Blues since 2024.
Renato Veiga is about to end the nightmare at Chelsea, when Villarreal reached a record agreement on the Spanish team transfer with the Blues to recruit the Portuguese defender. Veiga, who moved to Stamford Bridge in 2024 from Basel, has never been really good in West London and has difficulty seeking opportunities to play. In January 2025, he was lent to Juventus under a short -term contract.
According to The Standard, Villarreal agreed to pay 30 million euros (£ 26 million) to Chelsea to ensure the Veiga deal. The sheet added that the Blues added to the terms of resale in the transfer agreement. Veiga is waiting for the final procedures to be announced as a record contract of the Golden submarine.
Veiga also contracted with Chelsea until 2031, but his representative did not want his client to buried his talent on the bench of the Stamford Bridge. Although Levi Colwill will have to take a break from playing most of the 2025/26 season because of the previous ligament injury, the Portuguese defender still has to receive unhappy news that he is no longer in the plan of coach Enzo Maresca.
In addition to Villarreal, Juventus also wants to bring the defender back by buying Veiga, while Dortmund has shown interest in Veiga after Niklas Sule's muscle injury. Veiga became the 11th player of Chelsea leaving Stamford Bridge this summer.
Currently, the Blues are still trying to push Christopher Nkunku away to recruit Xavi Simons from Leipzig. They will confront West Ham in the Premier League this weekend.
