Juventus has officially secured Chelsea’s Renato Veiga on a loan deal worth €5 million, potentially rising to €6 million with add-ons. Veiga, who joined Chelsea in the summer of 2024, struggled for Premier League minutes but impressed in cup competitions and earned his senior debut for Portugal. With Juventus facing a defensive crisis, Veiga is expected to bring versatility, having played as a centre-back, left-back, and defensive midfielder.

- Juventus' Defensive Needs: The Italian club sought reinforcements after ACL injuries to Bremer and Juan Cabal, and the mutual contract termination of Danilo.
- Immediate Impact Expected: With Juventus sitting fifth in Serie A and enduring a spate of draws, Veiga’s arrival could bolster their push for consistency in the league.
