Chelsea are in discussions with Borussia Dortmund regarding Renato Veiga, emphasising that they will not entertain a loan deal for the Portuguese international. Despite signing Veiga for £12 million in the summer, Chelsea now value the versatile player at over £20 million, reflecting his growth and potential. Veiga, eager for more regular football to secure his place in Portugal’s 2026 World Cup squad, has expressed a desire to leave Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s decision to sell could influence their pursuit of reinforcements, including defensive options like Crystal Palace's Marc Guéhi or potential internal recalls like Trevoh Chalobah.
- Permanent Move Only: Chelsea will only consider selling Veiga if their valuation exceeds £20 million, dismissing Borussia Dortmund's loan ambitions.
- Versatility Valued: Veiga’s adaptability in defense and midfield has made him a key squad player, but he seeks consistent playing time to bolster his international prospects.
- Defensive Market Activity: Chelsea are exploring options to strengthen their backline, with Marc Guéhi and Trevoh Chalobah among the considerations.
- Sales Strategy: Chelsea are open to selling several players, including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Carney Chukwuemeka, Axel Disasi, and Ben Chilwell, to fund future transfers.
- Nkunku’s Potential Exit: With 13 goals this season, Christopher Nkunku may also leave, creating flexibility for Chelsea to explore striker options or rely on internal replacements like João Félix or Marc Guiu.
