Villarreal are set to complete the signing of Chelsea’s Renato Veiga on a permanent transfer.
Chelsea are confident that a deal, when finalised, will be processed for a total fee of around €30million (£26m) which includes achievable add-ons and a significant sell-on clause for the Premier League side.

The London club signed the versatile defender, who primarily plays at centre-back, from Basel for €14m last summer on a contract until June 2031, with the option of a further 12 months.
After scoring two goals across 18 Chelsea appearances, the Portugal international spent the second half of last season on loan at Juventus, where he made 15 appearances and helped the club qualify for the Champions League after the club paid a €5m loan fee.
Veiga became a Portugal international following his move to west London, and has since played five times for Roberto Martinez’s side.
The Athletic reported on July 22 that Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich were among the clubs who had registered their interest in the 21-year-old.
Veiga was primarily a squad player in the first half of the season for Chelsea, making only one Premier League start and playing 90 minutes in all six of their Conference League league-phase matches.
Sources close to Veiga, who spoke anonymously to protect relationships, told The Athletic in January that he wanted to establish himself in the Portugal team after breaking into Martinez’s senior side in the opening months of 2024-25. He then joined Serie A side Juventus on loan, where he made 12 league starts in the second half of the campaign as they qualified for the Champions League with a fourth-place finish.
Veiga was then not included in Chelsea’s travelling squad for the Club World Cup after his spell in Italy ended, instead returning to their Cobham training base outside London alongside other returning loanees such as Ben Chilwell and Joao Felix, the latter of whom has joined Al Ittihad in a permanent move.
Veiga was used primarily as an inverting left-back at Chelsea, occasionally playing as a defensive midfielder or centre-back. But all his Juventus appearances came in the heart of defence, where he has also featured for Portugal.

College football hot seat: Auburn, Florida State already sizzling
College football coaches were afforded a recruiting class's full cycle of four years to prove their value, barring major malfeasance, not all that long ago. Those days are long gone. In today's ecosystem, when freshman signees rarely stay at the same program for four years and what was once considered malfeasance is now unenforceable, a coaching staff is fortunate to get two full years if the program falls short of expectations. Consider the following names who enter the 2025 season on the proverbial hot seat. It's a group that includes a coach less than three years removed from reaching a conference championship game behind a Heisman Trophy winner; another coach less than two years removed from a league title and College Football Playoff snub; and a third who has barely had time to settle into his new home. --Hugh Freeze, […]
Nick Kyrgios withdraws from third straight U.S. Open
Nick Kyrgios reacts to a point against Botic van de Zandschulp in the first set of their first-round match at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., Thursday, March 6, 2025. Australian Nick Kyrgios withdrew from the U.S. Open for the third straight year on Thursday. Wrist, ankle and knee injuries have kept the former Wimbledon finalist largely out of action since 2023. Kyrgios, 30, is just 1-4 in singles matches this season and has dropped to No. 644 in the ATP rankings. A seven-time winner on the ATP Tour, Kyrgios peaked at No. 13 in October 2016. He has earned more than $12.6 million in prize money. He lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 Wimbledon final before reaching the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open that year, his highest finish there. --Field Level Media
