Last season, Veiga played on loan at Juventus, where he left a good impression. His loan contract, however, did not include a buyout clause, and he returned to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
The initial expectation was that Enzo Maresca would give him a chance in the new campaign. However, the latest reports now claim that Chelsea are not against selling the player if they receive an offer in the region of €25–30 million.
Atletico Madrid are monitoring the situation closely and have already made an initial inquiry about a possible transfer. In addition to the Spanish side, Bournemouth and Wolverhampton are also interested in the defender.
