Renato Veiga has finalized a permanent transfer to Villarreal, marking a club-record deal for the Spanish team. The Portuguese international has officially departed from Chelsea after just a year, half of which he spent on loan at Juventus. Veiga had expressed a desire to be a regular starter at centre-back rather than serving as a back-up left-back, leading to his move to Turin where he made a notable impression in Serie A. Villarreal became his most promising next destination after he was linked with Borussia Dortmund and other interested clubs. Veiga swiftly agreed to personal terms with Villarreal, who have made a significant financial investment in the 22-year-old. Villarreal consented to meet Chelsea's asking price of approximately €30 million, thereby making Veiga the most expensive signing in the history of the Spanish club. The Portuguese international has committed to a contract extending until 2032. Villarreal's website lauded Veiga's capabilities, noting that he is a superb left-footed centre-back, tall, strong, technically proficient, and possesses the qualities of a Champions League-level defender.

According to AS, Villarreal has reached an agreement with Chelsea to acquire Portuguese defender Renato Veiga. The deal could amount to 29.5 million euros, with the player set to sign a seven-season contract. The transfer fee consists of a fixed 24.5 million euros and an additional 5 million euros in variables, which are reportedly challenging to achieve as they depend on winning titles.

Tuttomercato reports on Villarreal's renewed pursuit of Renato Veiga from Chelsea. Villarreal has made a renewed offer of 28 million euros, including bonuses, which is close to Chelsea's asking price of 30 million euros.

Villarreal has reached an agreement with Renato Veiga on all contract details. Transfer fee negotiations with Chelsea are still ongoing. Chelsea demands around 40 million euros, while Villarreal is optimistic about completing the deal for under 35 million euros. Borussia Dortmund was also interested in Veiga as a replacement for the injured Niklas Süle, but Villarreal is expected to finalize the transfer.
Villarreal have expressed interest in Veiga, the 22-year-old Portuguese international, considering him a "dream target." Their initial formal bid was turned down by Chelsea, who have set his valuation at €30 million (£25.9 million, $35.1 million). Earlier this summer, he was close to joining Atlético Madrid, but that move did not materialize. Villarreal's interest has arisen in the context of Chelsea's decision to reject offers for Veiga, even though he is not included in manager Enzo Maresca's plans. Veiga, who spent part of the previous season on loan at Juventus, is regarded as a versatile player, but his preference for playing as a centre back has contributed to his desire to depart Stamford Bridge. His contract with Chelsea extends until 2031, with Transfermarkt estimating his market value at €25.00m.
