The 21-year-old requested to depart Chelsea for the second half of the season and despite interest from Borussia Dortmund, the Blues agreed a deal with Italian side Juventus. Veiga's loan switch has now been confirmed and he will wear the number 12 shirt for the Turin based side.

Juventus have signed Portugal defender Renato Veiga on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season, the Serie A club said on Monday, while Brazil international Danilo bid an emotional goodbye to the Serie A side.

Chelsea defender Renato Veiga has joined Juventus on loan for the rest of the season. Veiga, 21, joined Chelsea from Basel for £11.8m in the summer and has played in 18 games, but has started just one Premier League match.
