Atlético Madrid is in negotiations with Chelsea to secure the transfer of Renato Veiga, a versatile 21-year-old center-back. Chelsea currently values Veiga at £40-45 million ($54-60 million), but both clubs are optimistic about agreeing on a valuation soon. This transfer is critical as Atlético aims to enhance their defense following previous signings. Atlético has also recently added players like Marc Pubill, Matteo Ruggeri, Álex Baena, Thiago Almada, and Johnny Cardoso to their squad. The club is prioritizing a well-rounded team for the upcoming season.
Diego Simeone's side have made it a priority to bring in a centre-back after completing the signing of Marc Pubill from Almería to strengthen the right-back position.
Sources told ESPN that Atlético are still far from reaching the £40-45 million ($54m-60m) that Chelsea are asking for in order for a deal to be agreed for the Portuguese centre-back.
Renato Veiga is considered a marked opportunity for Diego Simeone's side. Atlético's sporting management highlight his youth at just 21-years old and his versatility to play as a left-back, defensive midfielder and centre-back.
Atlético's latest arrivals include Matteo Ruggeri, Álex Baena, Thiago Almada, and Johnny Cardoso, with a summer squad overhaul taking place.
