Bayern Munich Target Chelsea’s Renato Veiga as Summer Defensive Option
Bayern Munich want Chelsea’s Renato Veiga to strengthen their defense. The Portuguese player is on their shortlist, but any deal depends on Kim Min-jae’s future and talks with Chelsea.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Bayern Munich see Renato Veiga as a strong choice for their new defender. He joined Chelsea in 2024 and can also play as a left-back or hold in midfield. Big clubs have noticed his skills, and Chelsea got him from Basel on a seven-year contract. But he might leave after just one season at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea want at least €25 million for the 21-year-old, who was left out of the Club World Cup and may leave.
According to a previous report, Chelsea is aiming to secure a transfer fee of at least €25 million for Renato Veiga.
BAYERN’S SEASON SO FAR AND THE SITUATION AT CHELSEA
Bayern Munich finished last season as Bundesliga Champions and ahead of Bayer Leverkuse who secured second place in the Bundesliga, and want more defensive players because Kim Min-jae might leave. Veiga helped Chelsea win the UEFA Conference League but didn’t start in the Premier League often. Chelsea, who came in fourth, are changing their team and want to sell Veiga to get money for new players.
Last season, Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League, securing a Champions League spot.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR VEIGA AND THE CLUBS INVOLVED?
Bayern’s move for Veiga depends on Kim Min-jae’s future. If Kim leaves for Saudi Arabia, it could speed things up. Chelsea want to finish any transfer before their Premier League season starts, and Bayern wants more players before the Bundesliga begins. Tottenham and Brighton are watching Veiga, so the deal may change soon. Bayern play PSG next in the Club World Cup quarter-finals, while Chelsea face Palmeiras in the Club World Cup. Both teams want their squads ready before these big games.
According to a previous report, Bayern Munich has set a match against PSG in the Club World Cup quarter-finals after successfully defeating Flamengo.
