Chelsea left-back Renato Veiga is reportedly on the verge of leaving Stamford Bridge, with Fabrizio Romano revealing that Borussia Dortmund have reached an agreement with the 21-year-old.
The Portuguese defender, signed from Basel for €14m in July 2024, has expressed his preference to play as a centre-back rather than a left-back.
Despite his versatility and solid performances this season—scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist in 18 matches—Chelsea appear ready to part ways with Veiga for a €30m fee.
Chelsea’s decision to sell rather than loan the player marks a shift in their approach to his development. Veiga’s current contract runs until 2031, but Dortmund’s interest seems to align with his ambitions and positional preferences.
