BBC: Villarreal is expected to sign Chelsea central defender Vega for less than £30m

Hupu, August 19th, According to the famous BBC reporter Kincera, the reporter updated the future situation of Chelsea central defender Vega. The Portuguese has reportedly reached an agreement with La Liga club Villarea on personal terms.

The reporter said that Chelsea defender Vega has reached personal terms with Spanish club Villarreal. The 22-year-old Portuguese international is ready to join the Spanish club - they have already qualified for the Champions League this season - but difficult negotiations on transfer fees continue.

As we all know, Chelsea's valuation of Vega is about £34 million. Last month, La Liga club Atletico Madrid was also interested in Vega, but after long negotiations between the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the transfer fee. Currently, Villarreal has also joined the battle for the Portuguese defender. The BBC learned that Villarreal has the hope of reaching a deal for less than £30 million.

It is reported that Chelsea coach Maresca has previously stated that after the team's main central defender Colville underwent an ACL injury this week, he is prioritizing signing a new central defender to replace the England central defender.

Colville played a key role in Chelsea's Premier League and Club World Cup last season, but he will now miss most of next season after being injured in previous training. Chelsea has spent more than £200 million on new players this summer.

Viga was loaned to Juventus in the second half of the season. He joined Chelsea from Basel Club for 12 million pounds in the summer window in 2024, playing 18 games for Chelsea.
