Chelsea's 21-year-old defender Renato Veiga is hitting the reset button, joining Juventus on loan for the rest of the season. Veiga, who arrived at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea defender Renato Veiga has officially joined Juventus on loan until the end of the season. The Portugal international's adventure at Stamford Bridge has already come to an end, albeit only temporarily.

Juve do not have any options or obligations attached to the loan and they are reportedly paying €4+1.5m in loan fees to make this happen. Veiga will be expected to play center back, and do so regularly, something that was not on the cards for him at Chelsea — despite his relatively frequent involvement in the first-half of the season.

Juventus officially unveiled Veiga on Monday night, as it was announced he would wear the number 12 shirt for the Italian club. That shirt was previously worn by Alex Sandro, until he left last summer to join Brazilian side Flamengo.
