Atletico Madrid 'join race for Chelsea defender' with 'many clubs' circling - and Blues could DOUBLE their money AGAIN

Atletico Madrid have reportedly put Chelsea defender Renato Veiga on their summer wish list.

Los Colchoneros are considering Veiga's merits against other options but will have to be decisive if they want to scoop him up.

That's because 'many' clubs are said to have enquired about the 21-year-old, who is valued between £26million and £30m, according to transfer reporter Florian Plettenberg.

Veiga joined Chelsea from Basel last summer for £12m but has struggled to break into the first team. That means they could more than double their money on him - something they almost did by selling Noni Madueke to Arsenal in a £52m deal.
