Villarreal are set to complete the signing of Chelsea’s Renato Veiga on a permanent transfer.

The move, when finalised, will be processed for an upfront fee of around €24.5million (£21m) alongside a further €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons and a significant sell-on clause for the Premier League side.

The London club signed the versatile defender, who primarily plays at centre-back, from Basel for €14m last summer on a contract until June 2031, with the option of a further 12 months.

After scoring two goals across 18 Chelsea appearances, the Portugal international spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus, where he made 15 appearances and helped the club qualify for the Champions League after the club paid a €5m loan fee.

Veiga became a Portugal international following his move to west London, and has since played five times for Roberto Martinez’s side.

The Athletic reported on July 22 that Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich were among the clubs who had registered their interest in the 21-year-old.

Veiga was primarily a squad player in the first half of the season for Chelsea, making only one Premier League start and playing 90 minutes in all six of their Conference League league-phase matches.

Sources close to Veiga, who spoke anonymously to protect relationships, told The Athletic in January that he wanted to establish himself in the Portugal team after breaking into Martinez’s senior side in the opening months of 2024-25. He then joined Serie A side Juventus on loan, where he made 12 league starts in the second half of the campaign as they qualified for the Champions League with a fourth-place finish.

Veiga was then not included in Chelsea’s travelling squad for the Club World Cup after his spell in Italy ended, instead returning to their Cobham training base outside London alongside other returning loanees such as Ben Chilwell and Joao Felix, the latter of whom has joined Al Ittihad in a permanent move.

Veiga was used primarily as an inverting left-back at Chelsea, occasionally playing as a defensive midfielder or centre-back. But all his Juventus appearances came in the heart of defence, where he has also featured for Portugal.

The Premier League panic rankings –

6. Chelsea

A club that has signed 49 senior players in three years at a cost of around £1.75billion is never far from buying someone, panic or no panic. If Enzo Maresca had his way, Chelsea would be steaming into the market for a centre-back following Levi Colwill’s long-term injury, but so far the club appear to be telling him to make do with the 12 senior defenders that remain available to him (No joke. That’s the real number). However, after mustering only three shots on target against Palace on Sunday, expect them to spend £70m on a new striker who’ll get a 12-year contract then be loaned to Strasbourg in January.

this is the difference between us and arsenal

we will buy garnacho and they will buy a more grow player like eze 

thats why we will never challenge for the title with this board

Tbf, Arteta and Arse are in absolute “win now” mode. He needs to win the league this season or his job could be in jeopardy. Or at least it would be if he was at a ruthless club like Chelsea. When all you need is 1 or 2 final pieces to your puzzle and you’re in win now mode you’re ok spending £60m on a 27 year old. 

Our board are still planning for next season and beyond and probably aren’t thinking title win this season.

they barely sold key players and add a lot of deep 

Our chance its stay at least relevant target at least top4 and hope with a new board we finally challenge for the league. with this board, I truly dont believe that

Bournemouth exploring a move for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, as @sachatavolieri called. Chelsea prefer a permanent exit, but different formulas being discussed.
