OM have started concrete discussions with Chelsea, for a transfer of their 21-year-old Portuguese left-back Renato Veiga. Recruited from FC Basel last summer for 14 million euros, Veiga was little used this season in the Premier League (7 matches, 1 start) but he played in all six Europa Conference League matches, in their entirety. The Marseille staff love his profile, the London club is open to a departure, but he would like a direct transfer or a loan with a compulsory purchase option.
