Out-of-favour Sporting player set for big-money move to Villarreal | OneFootball

Renato Veiga, who didn't count on Ruben Amorim at Sporting, may become Villarreal's most expensive signing in history

Renato Veiga may become Villarreal's most expensive signing in history. The Portuguese international is a Chelsea player, after not receiving the approval of Ruben Amorim at Sporting. The player is a product of the Alcochete Academy, but ended up never being launched by the current coach at Manchester United, during his time at Alvalade.

According to information advanced by the Spanish newspaper Marca, the yellow submarine approached the London blues for a potential transfer of the central defender. In response, the World Cup-winning team set the sale price for their player at 35 million euros.

If the transfer is confirmed, Renato Veiga will become Villarreal's most expensive signing in history. Currently, this position is held by Paco Alcácer, who in 2020, traded Borussia Dortmund for the La Liga team for 20 million euros.

It's worth remembering that the 22-year-old Portuguese international is not part of Enzo Maresca's plans. The player is one of the names on Chelsea's dispensable list, having already sparked the interest of some clubs in this transfer market. Among them were Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr and Atlético de Madrid.

Renato Veiga – currently valued at 25 million euros – was trained at the Sporting Academy, but never earned the trust of Ruben Amorim to make his debut on the A team. However, he was captain and represented the B team, having played 31 games in the secondary formation.
