Villarreal table offer for Chelsea star | OneFootball

La Liga outfit Villarreal have this week forwarded an offer to Premier League giants Chelsea, for a member of the latter’s backline.

The player in question? Renato Veiga.

Defender Veiga is for his part expected to be on the move before the summer transfer window is out.

This comes with the Portuguese, fresh off a solid loan stint with Juventus over the 2nd half of last season, not featuring in the plans of Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.

Held in high regard across the continent, a number of bids, in turn, are understood to have been tabled for Veiga of late.

And as alluded to above, the most recent was forthcoming by way of Spain.

As per a report from journalist and transfer market insider Fabrizio Romano:

‘Villarreal have sent formal bid to Chelsea for Renato Veiga — it falls short of expectations. Formal contract proposal to Veiga also sent as dream target for centre back position. The Portuguese defender is keen on the move but difficult to agree club to club.’
