Juventus and Chelsea have reached an agreement for the transfer of versatile defender, Renato Veiga on loan.
The Portuguese will stay at Juventus until the end of the season, according to transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano.
Veige, 21, was a target for several clubs in Europe but has chosen to swap London for Turin as he seeks consistent minutes in his preferred position.
Veiga told the Blues hierarchy of his wish to go out on loan and to play regularly as a centre-back.
Romano now reports that the Blues have acceded to his request and have decided to allow the deal to happen with Juventus.
The Bianconeri will pay a €5 million loan fee for the defender, who will return to Chelsea once the season ends.
Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca is a huge fan of the versatility of Veiga, who moved to Stamford Bridge from FC Basel for just £12 million in the summer.
Maresca has had Veiga play in midfield and at left-back, but the youngster has hardly featured at centre-back.
He has played 18 times for Chelsea this season, scoring two goals and providing an assist.
Veiga earned his first invitations to the senior Portugal national team this season, and was utilised as a centre-back on his debut.
