Fabrizio Romano reports that Borussia Dortmund made an approach for Chelsea defender Renato Veiga, as they urgently need numbers in the position. With Emre Can and Niklas Süle joining Nico

A year after arriving at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have made significant profit on their Veiga investment, selling him for more then double what they signed him for. With less than two weeks to go before the transfer window closes, the Blues are still working on a number of other departures to facilitate further signings.

The 22-year-old has taken a big step towards moving to Spain by agreeing a contract, as talks over a fee continue with Chelsea.

Renato Veiga could be set to return to Juventus this summer following his loan spell with the Italian club during the second half of last season

Villarreal have made a formal bid to Chelsea for Renato Veiga, but it falls short of the Blues’ expectations according to Fabrizio Romano. Veiga joined Chelsea in a surprise deal worth €14m from Swiss side FC Basel last summer, but after just one season his Stamford Bridge career appears to be over.
