Chelsea signed Renato Veiga from Basel only last summer, but it looks as though the youngster’s career at Stamford Bridge may already be coming to an end.
The Blues loaned Veiga to Juventus in January and are now open to offloading him permanently
Last month, it was reported that Chelsea could sell Veiga after failing to hand the 21-year-old guarantees of playing in central defence.
Veiga was used in that area of the pitch during his loan spell at Juventus, and it looks like he wants to remain there.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have been linked with a move for Veiga, so that could be another possible destination for the young defender.

Chelsea could offer Renato Veiga to Bayern Munich in a deal for Kim Min-jae
With Chelsea open to letting Veiga go, they could use him to sign Bayern Munich star Kim Min-jae.
In April, it was claimed that Chelsea contacted people close to Kim about a potential move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
That interest still looks to be there, with Tuttomercatoweb reporting that Chelsea are just one club who are currently looking at the centre-half.
According to the Italian publication, the Blues are now considering offering Veiga to Bayern in a deal that would see Kim move in the opposite direction.
The 28-year-old helped Bayern to reclaim the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen last season, making 27 league appearances under Vincent Kompany.
Chelsea are desperately on the lookout for an experienced centre-back to lead their defence, and Kim Min-Jae could well be that player if he heads to Stamford Bridge.
Standing at 6’3″, the South Korean brings height and experience to Enzo Maresca’s backline after nearly 70 caps for his country. He also won the Serie A title with Napoli back in the 2022/23 season.
