Chelsea confident of deal for Sporting CP wonderkid!
This approach comes with lessons learned from last year when Dortmund brought Ian Maatsen on a six-month loan from Chelsea. The Dutchman impressed during his time at the Westfalenstadion, helping the team reach the Champions League final, where they lost to Real Madrid.
However, without a purchase option in his deal, Dortmund missed out when Aston Villa swooped in to sign him as its value soared under the direction of Edin Terzic.
That experience could prove crucial for Dortmund as they negotiate with Chelsea, fostering old ties with the west London club. It is believed they could try to reach a deal that includes a clear path to make Vega’s move permanent.
The defender arrived from Basel in the summer and has since made 11 starts and six substitute appearances for Chelsea.
Lack of sticking point in playing time for Renato Veiga at Chelsea
Blues head coach Enzo Maresca last picked him in the starting eleven last month in the Conference League against Shamrock Rovers. But, clearly unimpressed by the display, he has not been selected since.
Bournemouth had been linked with the youngster previously, but as they already have Chelsea player Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan in the side, any move for Vega would have to be permanent, not on loan.
Chelsea only signed Vega around six months ago but are now open to letting him go on loan at Stamford Bridge, it is believed. What is not clear is what they are asking for in return and how much they would demand to make any deal permanent.
