Renato Veiga is closing in on a move to Atletico Madrid, as Chelsea are very much open to letting the versatile star leave.

According to Marca via Sport Witness, Atletico Madrid are closing in on a move for Renato Veiga. Chelsea are not about to stand in the way of the versatile defender as the club are open to selling the Portuguese star. The Blues are reportedly offering favourable payment methods that will suit the Spanish giants.

Chelsea have shown a knack for concluding swift deals when it comes to selling their current players to any club that comes in with an offer. The Blues have spent vast sums on securing young talents throughout their operation under the new owners, and their recent sales figures show their project has been a success.

For instance, the swift sale of Noni Madueke to Arsenal showcased that Chelsea are willing to sell their players to any club. The deal for the English winger was concluded without a hassle, with both clubs agreeing on favourable payment terms, which is steadily becoming a hallmark for the Blues, as many other teams are interested in their existing players.

The latest player to be linked with an exit is Renato Veiga, who joined from FC Basel last summer in a €12 million deal. His versatility allows him to play in midfield as well as at the heart of the defence, as he showcased the latter during his six-month loan spell at Juventus. The Serie A giants were keen on keeping him for longer, but it appears the Portuguese international is moving in a different direction.

During the recent period, Atletico Madrid have shown big interest in the defender and now they are moving closer to concluding a deal with Chelsea. Diego Simeone likes Veiga’s versatility and feels the 21-year-old Chelsea utility man could fit into his system.

Chelsea are eager to ease through the Renato Veiga deal

Veiga is open to joining Atletico Madrid, and it appears a deal is moving along smoothly in the right direction. Chelsea had wanted €40 million for the defender, which may appear steep given the 21-year-old’s relatively low experience at the top level, with the figures confirmed by Fabrizio Romano in one of his recent posts on X.

Chelsea’s knack to offer favourable payment terms are likely to help ease through this deal for Atletico Madrid, with the two clubs holding great relations following recent business dealings. As things stand, Renato Veiga is inching closer to joining the Madrid giants and signing a long-term deal there.
