Report – Inter Milan Eye Late Summer Swoop For Chelsea Defender Despite €30M Price Tag | OneFootball

Serie A runners-up Inter Milan look set to rival Juventus for the signature of versatile Chelsea defender Renato Veiga.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri could make a late bid for the Portuguese star.

Renato Veiga spent last season on loan at the Allianz Stadium after failing to secure regular first-team football in London.

However, Juventus failed to make his transfer permanent at the end of the campaign.

Therefore, he has returned to Stamford Bridge, only for Chelsea to put him back on the market.

Udinese’s Oumar Solet has been Inter’s top defensive target, yet there are complications.

Indeed, the Friulians are reluctant to let the former RB Salzburg center-back leave on loan.

As such, Inter are keeping close tabs on Veiga.

Despite falling out of favor at Chelsea, the 22-year-old won’t come cheap, with the Blues slapping a €30 million price tag on his head.

Still, the Nerazzurri could make a late summer attempt to sign the ex-Basel man.
