BVB: Renato Veiga before substitution! Importance for the future of defense

Borussia Dortmund is very interested in Renato Veiga, the current Chelsea defender. Both sides agree on a possible move for the three-time Portuguese international. Veiga himself has stated that he would like to move to Borussia Dortmund. The next step in this transfer process is to reach an agreement between Dortmund and Chelsea.

From information from Sky Germany It appears that the transfer modality will probably be a loan with a subsequent purchase option. However, it is unclear whether Chelsea will agree to a loan deal, especially given the personnel situation in defense.

Details on the current status of the transfer negotiations

How Sports Illustrated Reportedly, Borussia Dortmund have already reached a verbal agreement with Veiga for a possible transfer in January. The 21-year-old has struggled to get playing time this season, despite his solid performances in the Conference League. He often had to line up behind players like Marc Cucurella, Malo Gusto and Reece James, as they were preferred.

After moving from FC Basel to Chelsea in the summer of 2023, Veiga has made a total of 17 appearances so far, although he has only played seven Premier League games this season. He collected most of his playing minutes in the Conference League. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that players will be given the opportunity to seek more game time in January, which could increase Veiga's chances of securing a loan deal. However, it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will give him permission to negotiate a move with Borussia Dortmund.
