How much could Sporting earn from Renato Veiga’s Villarreal move | OneFootball

Renato Veiga has been confirmed as a reinforcement for Villarreal this season, with the 'yellow submarine' signing the player from Sporting to Chelsea in a deal worth 29.5 million euros. Now, the Alvalade Club will also benefit from this transfer.

After calculations, the board led by Frederico Varandas will secure a revenue between 500 and 600 thousand euros, due to UEFA's solidarity mechanism. The central defender made his senior debut with the green and whites.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish club will pay the amount in question, including objectives, for the Portuguese international. The deal also includes a buy-back clause, the value of which was not disclosed. The player becomes the most expensive transfer in Villarreal's history, surpassing the 23.5 million euros paid for Arnaut Danjuma in 2021/22.

Renato Veiga was linked to Al Nassr and Atletico Madrid in this transfer window. The colchoneros wanted a central defender, with Diego Simeone's plan being to use him mainly in the defensive axis, at a time when he only had José María Giménez, Robin Le Normand and Clément Lenglet as immediate solutions.

The 22-year-old Portuguese central defender is not part of Enzo Maresca's plans for the new season at Chelsea. Signed from Basel at the start of 2024/25 for 14 million euros, the defender started well in London, but lost his starting position, until he was loaned to Juventus for half a season.

Renato Veiga - currently valued at 25 million euros - trained at Sporting's Academy, but never managed to reach the main squad of the lions, then led by Ruben Amorim. However, he was captain and represented the B team, having played 31 games in the secondary formation.
