OM are grilling everyone to sign Renato Veiga, who Chelsea ultimately no longer want at all. This versatile defender is for sale, and Pablo Longoria understood it from the start.
This is the somewhat crazy rumor of the last few hours, and it gains weight with each new piece of information. OM's interest in Renato Veiga was not the most immediate this winter, since teams like Borussia Dortmund and Lazio Rome came to see Chelsea to negotiate an arrival on loan for the Portuguese left-back. But Pablo Longoria felt the blow very well and arrived at Chelsea with a completely different offer. To bring in the player revealed at FC Basel and bought for 14 million euros by the Blues last summer, the Marseille president did not arrive with a loan offer like the other suitors. And that changes everything for the London team, which visibly wants to get rid of the Portuguese. Initially, however, this was not the wish of Chelsea, who hoped to make him progress by loaning him elsewhere. But the Blues need money and OM therefore took the lead.
A sale at all costs for Chelsea
Especially since the player is not satisfied with his positioning, he who mainly helps out at the left-back position, and sees himself more as a central defender, or even as a sentinel as he works with the young people of Portugal. This is what journalist Cyril Olivès-Berthet confirms in a live interview for La Minute OM, and who tells us that Chelsea want to sell him at all costs. “ Chelsea leaders have sent a message to Renato Veiga's agent to inform all clubs interested in the player that no loan will be accepted. Chelsea only wants cash and demands money. They really want to downsize,” assured the journalist from L'Equipe, in a revelation that changes everything and which suddenly puts Marseille in a position of strength. For the moment, no information on a possible amount has filtered out, but Chelsea's need for money seems much greater than expected, and could help OM to achieve a new promising move.
