Chelsea defender Veiga prefers Juventus with a few alternative offers | OneFootball

While Lazio and Borussia Dortmund are also interested, Italian reports suggest Chelsea defender Renato Veiga prefers Juventus, with different options on the table.

Over the last few days, Veiga has become hot property on the transfer market and one of the players expected to leave the bloated Stamford Bridge squad in January.

Lazio are already in negotiations with Chelsea for Cesare Casadei and could add the defender in a double deal, while Borussia Dortmund are also interested in picking up Veiga.

However, transfer pundits Fabrizio Romano, Gianluca Di Marzio and Alfredo Pedullà are confident that he would prefer Juventus to the other alternatives.

It has been suggested that the opening proposal is a €2m fee to take the player on loan for six months.

There could also be an option to buy at the end of the season, whereas Chelsea are hoping to bring in €20m cash for a quick sale.

The 21-year-old can play in central defence or at left-back and was only purchased six months ago from FC Basel for €14m.
