Bayern Munich shortlist Chelsea’s Renato Veiga as summer target | OneFootball

Bayern Munich have added Chelsea defender Renato Veiga to their list of potential targets for the summer (h/t journalist Fabrizio Romano).

The Portuguese star is expected to leave Stamford Bridge after being deemed surplus to requirements.

Chelsea loaned out the 21-year-old to Juventus in January for the remainder of the season after signing him from Basel last summer.

Veiga was one of the several players snubbed by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca for the Club World Cup squad.

Bayern have identified the Portuguese international as one of the potential replacements for Kim Min-jae.

The South Korean centre-back faces an uncertain future at Allianz Arena, with Bayern open to selling him for a considerable offer.

Jonathan Tah’s arrival on a free transfer has put his position under threat.

The German defender has been impressive for the Bavarians at the Club World Cup, featuring in every game.

Veiga’s versatility to play as a centre-back, left-back and in the midfield makes him a valuable prospect.

He has performed well with limited opportunities at Chelsea and was part of the Portugal side that defeated Spain to win the Nations League title last month.

Veiga was a regular for Juventus in Serie A, playing a pivotal role in securing a spot in the Champions League.

Bayern could also utilise him as a left-back, with Raphael Guerreiro linked with an exit this summer.

The Blues could be looking to secure more than €25 million with Veiga’s departure.

Bayern are looking to add depth to the defence following Eric Dier’s move to AS Monaco.

Injuries to Min-jae and Hiroki Ito leave Bayern with Dayot Upamecano and Tah as the only reliable centre-back options.
