Chelsea: Renato Veiga flies in for Juventus medical as debut date planned Chelsea defender Renato Veiga is due to arrive in Turin on Friday to undergo a medical at Juventus.
Chelsea have already had Aaron Anselmino return from a loan at Boca Juniors, and they also triggered an early re-call for Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace amid a centre-back shortage.
There had been plenty of interest in Veiga this month once it appeared possible to sign him on loan, with Juventus having beaten the likes of Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan to his signature.
Juventus are attempting to get the deal completed in time for Veiga to make his debut on Saturday night in a crucial Serie A match away to Napoli.
While Veiga has tended to operate as a full-back for Chelsea - predominantly on the left - Juventus are expected to deploy him at centre-back, which is the player’s preference.
