The Bundesliga giants add the Chelsea defender linked to the exit to their list of potential summer transfer targets: reports

Bayern Munich set the obstacle on Renato Veiga de Chelsea this summer, according to acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano. The 21-year-old center-center should leave the Blues permanently this summer.

Veiga crossed the rows of Sporting before moving to Basel in 2023. The Portuguese were quite impressive with the Swiss Club, which prompted the Blues to come to hit the door.

The London giants signed the player last summer for costs of 12 million pounds sterling. However, Veiga had trouble entering the first team, managing only 18 appearances through competitions under Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea chose to unload it on loan to Juventus at the turn of the year. The Portuguese experienced a decent stay in Turin, keeping 15 appearances through competitions, including 14 departures.

However, the Bianconeri chose not to sign the player at the end of the season, with rumors suggesting that they had decreased at the requested price of the blues. However, the good form of veiga with Juventus may not be enough to save his career with the Giants of London.

Bayern Munich is now ready to take the versatile defender to Germany. The Bavarians are looking for a new defender among the uncertainties surrounding the future of Kim Min-Jae.

The Bundesliga champions apparently selected four candidates for the position, including Veiga. However, the transfer will depend on Min-Jae’s next decision, as well as the time of negotiations. The report adds that the Portuguese defender is a man sought after this summer.
