Chelsea defender Renato Veiga has moved to Juvents on loan until the end of the season.
Veiga joined Chelsea from FC Basel on a seven-year deal last July for a reported Β£11.7m but has started only one Premier League match this season.
The versatile 21-year-old made his debut for Portugal in October last year against Poland in a Nations League game and has played in two more internationals.

Veiga joins a Juve side fifth in Serie A, two points behind fourth-placed Lazio but 16 adrift of leaders Napoli.
Veiga will hope for more opportunities at Juventus, who have struggled with injuries in defence. Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal are out with anterior cruciate ligament injuries, while Danilo left the club by mutual agreement on Monday.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca had urged Veiga to stay last week, saying: “If there is a player who just wants to play in one position, they’re going to struggle.”
