JUVENTUS BRING IN CHELSEA DEFENDER VEIGA ON LOAN – The versatile 21-year-old joined Chelsea from FC Basel on a seven-year deal
Juventus have signed Portugal defender Renato Veiga on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season, the Serie A club. The versatile 21-year-old joined Chelsea from FC Basel on a seven-year deal in July for a reported 14 million euros ($14.68 million) but has started only one Premier League match this season.
Veiga joins a Juventus side fifth in Serie A, two points behind fourth-placed Lazio but 16 adrift of leaders Napoli. Veiga will hope for more opportunities at Juventus, who have struggled with injuries in defence. Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal are out with anterior cruciate ligament injuries, while Danilo left the club by mutual agreement on Monday.
