In a shocking turn of events that has left the footballing world in stitches, Chelsea's 21-year-old defender Renato Veiga is reportedly set to "borrow" some Bundesliga flair, as Borussia Dortmund have opened talks to sign him on an initial loan deal. Sources close to Veiga say he’s already got a “Dortmund wardrobe” picked out for his potential new home, complete with bright yellow socks and a pair of oversized sunglasses for that true Bundesliga chic. Chelsea, however, is reportedly fuming at the idea of loaning out their prized Portuguese defender. According to insiders, they would prefer to sell him outright, but they seem to be missing the memo that a "loan" is basically just a long-term trial run. The Blues believe that "permanent sale" sounds much nicer, like taking out a full English breakfast instead of just a side of beans. Classic Chelsea! While shooting down a loan approach from Wolverhampton—who apparently thought Veiga could be a suitable replacement for a missing piece of their puzzle—Chelsea has opened their arms to Dortmund, who are offering the kind of soccer job that comes with a side of pretzels and sausage. Dortmund has hinted at an obligation to buy at the end of the season, which has Chelsea considering it a low-risk, high-reward scheme more exciting than the stock market. As if this wasn't enough drama, Veiga has been a key player under Enzo Maresca, starting most of Chelsea’s cup matches. Perhaps Maresca is strategizing a way to keep his star defender around, citing that he would prefer not to have to explain to the board why he allowed one of the team's key defenders to take a temporary vacation to Germany. "But, boss, they offered him snacks!" would likely not hit the mark. As talks continue, sports pundits speculate whether we’ll see Veiga transform into a Bundesliga superstar or if he’ll come back sporting a neon yellow Borussia Dortmund jersey, flipping through Instagram stories with a hashtag #LendingMyStyle. Only time will tell if Chelsea's blue will transform into the black and yellows, but one thing is for certain: Renato Veiga is about to learn that in football, sometimes you go on loan and sometimes you end up in someone else's Fashion Week lineup.
