Renato Veiga, a 21-year-old Portugal international, joined Chelsea for £12 million just a year ago. However, he has not been able to secure regular playing time under manager Enzo Maresca. As a result, Chelsea considers Veiga an unwanted player and is looking to sell him.
Atletico Madrid, along with other top clubs like Bayern Munich, is monitoring the situation. The Spanish club is willing to offer Veiga a spot in the first team, which is a major selling point for the player.
According to recent reports, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid have started club-to-club talks to discuss the potential transfer. The Spanish club is expected to make a bid for Veiga, and Chelsea will insist on a package worth €40 million.
Chelsea needs to sell unwanted players like Veiga to comply with financial rules. The club must meet these rules to avoid further fines and potential point deductions.
