Chelsea fans are baffled by the potential transfer of left-back Renato Veiga to Borussia Dortmund just six months after his arrival from Basel.
Chelsea are set to sanction a surprise transfer this month that has confused fans as Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the proposed deal. Veiga joined Chelsea from Basel for £12 million last summer but has played a bit-part role since his arrival. A January move is on the cards, with Romano claiming the club are open to a permanent switch despite him joining just six months ago.
Borussia Dortmund appears to be Veiga's next destination as the Bundesliga side have agreed a deal with the 21-year-old. That means Chelsea would have no cover for first-choice left-back Marc Cucurella. One X user wrote: 'Chilwell is leaving and if Veiga leaves on loan, then we have no cover for Cucurella.' A second added: 'Can’t understand this move, especially given Chilwell is surplus to requirements. Apart from Cucurella, what other left-backs at the club are there?' Speaking ahead of Chelsea's game against Bournemouth on Tuesday, Maresca gave the latest on Veiga, who has expressed his desire to play at centre-back. 'At the moment, I am not aware that there is an agreement for Renato. Yesterday he was here working with us and today he will be here. At the moment, he is our player,' he said via the 'The only thing I can say is that we bought Renato from Basel, he has played in different positions and has played well. This has allowed him to be in the senior national team for the first time in his life. Even if he is not playing in his position, it means he can do well in the position he is playing.
