Dortmund target Chelsea’s Veiga, as Juventus near Costa deal

By Daily Sports Nigeria on January 13, 2025

Juventus are reportedly on the verge of finalising a deal for Portuguese right-back Alberto Costa, with an official €15 million bid submitted to Vitória SC.

The offer outbids Sporting CP’s €12 million proposal, and the Italian club is expected to close the transfer within the next 24 to 48 hours.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Monday via X, Juventus have also agreed to a five-year contract with Costa.

“Juventus are closing in on Alberto Costa deal, exclusively revealed two days ago. Official bid sent to Vitória worth €15m package, more than Sporting with €12m. Agreement in place also with the Portuguese RB on five year deal. Juve want to get it done in 24/48h,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Romano also reports that Chelsea are preparing to part ways with Renato Veiga, with the club opting for a permanent sale rather than a loan.

Veiga, who has expressed a desire to play as a center-back rather than a left-back, is valued at €30 million.

Romano reports that Borussia Dortmund has reached a full agreement with Veiga on personal terms and a project, positioning the Bundesliga club as his likely destination.

“Renato Veiga, expected to leave Chelsea as club opened the doors to permanent exit — not loan. Chelsea want around €30m for Veiga to leave accomodating his request to go and play as CB, not as LB. Full agreement Borussia Dortmund-Veiga on contract/project, in place,” he stated.

At Southampton, efforts are underway to retain Kyle Walker-Peters, whose contract expires in six months.

The Saints are making a final attempt to secure his signature before the January window closes. Should they fail to agree on new terms or arrange a transfer, the defender could leave on a free transfer this summer.

Elsewhere, Swiss forward Noah Okafor is set to join RB Leipzig on a €1 million loan deal, with his salary fully covered.

The agreement includes a non-mandatory buy option worth €25–28 million. Okafor is expected to arrive in Leipzig today to finalise the move.
