Villarreal Signs Chelsea Defender Renato Veiga to Long-Term Deal

  • Renato Veiga, the 22-year-old Portuguese left-back, has finalized a transfer from Chelsea to Villarreal this summer, committing to a seven-year contract.
  • Veiga joined Chelsea from Basel in July 2024 for around £12 million but sought more playing time and a center back role, leading to a loan at Juventus.
  • He started only one Premier League match for Chelsea before spending the latter half of the season on loan at Juventus, where he made 12 Serie A starts, and gained recognition with the senior Portugal national team.
  • Chelsea accepted an offer from Villarreal around €25 million plus a significant sell-on clause, making Veiga the 11th player to leave this summer as sales exceed £200 million.
  • Veiga's transfer aligns with Chelsea's efforts to reduce defensive squad numbers while Villarreal secured a long-term addition to strengthen their backline.
