According to Marca, Chelsea defender Vega was listed by Atletico Madrid as one of the core signing targets of the defensive.
Last year, Vega transferred from Basel to Chelsea for 14 million euros, and was loaned to Juventus in the second half of the season. He performed stably at Juventus and was selected for the Portuguese national team. He also played for 46 minutes in the UEFA Nations League final to help Portugal win the championship.
Atletico Madrid focused on the signings, because Vega was tall and fast, and could fight against strikers with excellent physical fitness. In addition, he can also play as left back and midfielder, which is always a good thing for Simeone.
The player himself is open to joining Atletico Madrid. Chelsea’s asking price is about 40 million euros (including floating terms), and Atletico Madrid believes that the price is too high. In any case, considering that the only places in the centre-back are left in Gimenes, Lenorman and Langlet, Atletico Madrid needs to strengthen.
Maresca seems not optimistic about Vega, because after the loan of Juventus, he did not recruit Vega into the team's squad for the Club World Cup, so Vega tends to join Atletico Madrid.
