Chelsea’s Veiga expected in Turin today to complete Juventus loan | OneFootball

Renato Veiga is expected to arrive in Turin today, with Juventus ready to announce him as their new January reinforcement after reaching an agreement with Chelsea upon a loan deal.

After signing Alberto Costa from Vitoria SC about 10 days ago, the Bianconeri kept working to provide coach Thiago Motta with another player in a department plagued by serious injuries.

The terms of the deal with Chelsea were already revealed on Friday, with reports suggesting Veiga would temporarily move to the Allianz Stadium until next June, with no buy option included in the deal.

Romano also confirmed the Old Lady will pay around €5m for the straight loan, while the Premier League giants will keep paying the player’s salary for the next months before welcoming him back to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
