Chelsea sent Renato Veiga to Juventus on loan during the winter transfer window, hoping he’d get regular minutes on the pitch – but that has not been the case.
The youngster initially made a handful of appearances, three in Serie A and two in the Champions League, but an injury halted his momentum. Since returning, he’s struggled to make an impact. He featured in Juventus’ defeat to Fiorentina over a week ago but was subbed off early in the second half.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via SportNapoli, Juventus are unlikely to extend his stay. The club isn’t convinced by the 21-year-old, and all signs point to him heading back to Chelsea once the season ends.
Earlier in his loan spell, there was talk that Juventus might push to sign him permanently. But with his form dipping that option now seems off the table.
The Portuguese talent had joined Chelsea from FC Basel for £11.8 million in July 2024 but managed only one Premier League start among 18 appearances, often deployed out of his preferred centre-back position.
