A great struggle has begun for a luxury signature!

Olympique de Marseille is engaged in a frantic race to complete the transfer of Renato Veiga, the promising Portuguese left-back 21 ans playing at Chelsea. Concrete negotiations have started with the management of Chelsea to try to convince the English club to part with the young player, confined to a replacement role this season with only 18 apparitions. Despite his limited playing time, Veiga still scored 2 goals and delivered 1 assist.

Strong competition for OM

However, OM is not alone on this issue. Veiga's delicate situation at Chelsea is known to everyone and has attracted the attention of several European big names. THE Borussia Dortmundrenowned for its excellent work with young talents, is also in the running. Worse still, the prestigious German club seems to have favor with Chelsea in these negotiations. Furthermore, the Lazio Rome positioned itself with a concrete offer of 12 million eurosaccompanied by a percentage of 50% on a future resale, with the aim of permanently securing the services of the Portuguese.

High demands from Chelsea

Despite interest from several suitors, Chelsea appear to be favoring other options for Renato Veiga. The London club wishes either a paying loanor a dry transfer of 25 million eurosconditions that leave Lazio far behind for the moment. OM will therefore have to convince Chelsea to give him preference in the face of competition from Borussia Dortmund, while satisfying the high financial demands of the Blues to secure the services of the young Portuguese left-back.
