Borussia Dortmund Pursues Chelsea's Renato Veiga for Defensive Reinforcement

The Bundesliga club is reportedly seeking a loan deal with a purchase option, though Chelsea's coach appears reluctant to let the player leave.

Borussia Dortmund is targeting 22-year-old Renato Veiga from Chelsea to strengthen their defensive lineup, which has been stretched thin by injuries.
Reports suggest Dortmund is aiming for a loan agreement with an option to buy, and a verbal agreement with Veiga has reportedly been reached.
Chelsea's coach Enzo Maresca has expressed a desire to retain Veiga, emphasizing his importance to the team after the player's full 90-minute performance in a recent FA Cup victory.
Dortmund's defensive struggles were highlighted in their recent 3-2 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, where they fielded a makeshift backline with limited experienced center-backs.
Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin has identified a new left-back as a priority for the winter transfer window, adding urgency to the club's pursuit of Veiga.
