During his time at Juventus, Veiga made 15 appearances and helped the club qualify for the Champions League after paying a €5m loan fee. However, manager Enzo Maresca deemed Veiga surplus to requirements, making him part of the team's "bomb squad" alongside other talented players who have been let go recently.
Other notable players who have departed Chelsea include Armando Broja, Lesley Ugochukwu, Noni Madueke, and Joao Felix. Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are reportedly considering leaving the club as well, marking a significant clear-out.
Veiga's transfer to Villarreal is worth around €30m, and Chelsea has included a sell-on clause in the deal, making it the club's record signing for the La Liga side. Villarreal will compete in the Champions League this season, which means Veiga might face his former team if the draw allows it.
