Chelsea want £29m for defender with one Premier League start

Chelsea have reportedly set an asking price of £29 million for wantaway defender Renato Veiga.

The Portugal international only joined the Blues last summer, moving from Swiss outfit FC Basel for £12 million, but has only made start in the Premier League this season.

The 21-year-old’s preferred position is centre-back, but has mostly been deployed as a left-back or defensive midfielder on the few occasions he has been called upon by manager Enzo Maresca.

That has opened the possibility of a move to Juventus, who are looking to sign a central defender after Gleison Bremer was sidelined with an ACL tear.
