Chelsea’s young defender Renato Veiga has become the subject of transfer speculation, with both Napoli and Juventus expressing interest in acquiring the 21-year-old Portuguese international. As the January transfer window opens, these Serie A powerhouses are actively seeking to bolster their defensive options.
TMW and others report that Veiga, who has shown promise since joining Chelsea, has caught the eye of scouts from both Italian clubs. His versatility and potential make him an attractive prospect for teams looking to strengthen their backline.
Meanwhile, Juventus is reportedly planning to part ways with veteran defender Danilo. The Brazilian was notably absent from the Bianconeri’s squad for their recent Supercoppa Italiana semi-final clash against Milan, signaling a likely end to his tenure with the club. This situation could potentially accelerate Juventus’ pursuit of Veiga, with the Turin side expected to approach Chelsea once Danilo’s departure is finalized.
Interestingly, Napoli appear to be the frontrunner in securing Danilo’s services, although Marseille remains in contention. The Partenopei’s interest in both Danilo and Veiga adds an intriguing dimension to the transfer saga, as their success in landing the Juventus veteran could influence their approach for the Chelsea youngster.
