The left side of defense is a priority for Borussia Dortmund in the current transfer window. BVB now apparently has a promising candidate on the hook.
According to information from “Sky”, Borussia Dortmund has reached an agreement with Renato Veiga from Chelsea FC. The 21-year-old Portuguese signaled that he could well imagine making the move to the Bundesliga.
There are currently no signs of a solution in the talks between BVB and the Premier League club. According to the report, Borussia would prefer to loan out the defensive talent for the second half of the season. The Revierklub would also like to have a purchase option for the summer.
The “kicker” also reports on Dortmund’s interest in the three-time national player. The Westphalians are hoping that Renato Veiga can take the burden off Ramy Bensebaini as an additional option.
This is currently the task of U17 world champion Almugera Kabar. The 18-year-old recently indicated during the appearance against Bayer Leverkusen (2:3) that the Bundesliga is currently too big for him.
BVB is threatened with competition in the courtship of Renato Veiga
It is unclear how good BVB’s prospects are in Veiga poker. So far, Chelsea have shown no willingness to let the defensive man go in the winter. “He is an important player in our considerations. We are happy to see him continue to grow with us,” said Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca recently.
Since Renato Veiga came to London from FC Basel in the summer for around 14 million euros, the full-back has actually been an important part of the rotation because of his variability.
In the first half of the season, the left-footed player, who can also play as a central defender and in defensive midfield, made 17 appearances in all competitions. In addition to BVB, VfB Stuttgart and Juventus Turin are also said to have recently been involved with Renato Veiga.
The 1.90m man is no stranger to the Bundesliga. In 2023 he played on loan at FC Augsburg for six months. However, the top talent was unable to prevail there.
