'Over €40m' – Romano jacks up price of in-demand Chelsea star again; sporting directors ready to cash in
Transfer insiders go head to head over Portugal international price
Renato Veiga's price keeps climbing upwards as interest in the defender increases.
It happened again yesterday – Plettenberg the pretender wrote yesterday morning that Atletico Madrid had joined Bayern Munich in the race to sign Renato Veiga from Chelsea with a speculated price of €35m.
Romano wants his own back by adding further exclusive detail – and in this case he's claimed that Chelsea want 'over €40m' for the versatile defender.
That would work out as something like €35m plus some add ons and bonuses, but it's still a pretty significant difference.
Veiga wants out because he feels he's too far back in the pecking order both at left back and centre back to be a regular ahead of the World Cup next summer, for which he wants to play week in week out to secure his place in the Portugal first team. Chelsea are happy to cash in on an asset which has seen its value skyrocket since he arrived from Basel a year ago.
Sporting directors will be delighted with quick flip of bargain buy
Whether it's €30m, €35m or €40m, a sale at that level will represent a great success for our sporting directors.
They bought Veiga as a pretty much total unknown a year ago, juiced him up with some Conference League games and a loan to Juve, and now are set to cash in majorly on him.
That's good scouting, good business on the buy price, and good development of the prospect with steady minutes at a high level. Great work all round.

Stellantis warns of $2.7 billion loss for 1st half of 2025 due to tariffs and some big charges
Stellantis, the maker of Jeep and Ram vehicles, says its preliminary estimates show a 2.3 billion euros ($2.68 billion) net loss in the first half of the year due to U.S. tariffs and some hefty charges. The automaker anticipates an impact of about 300 million euros for net tariffs incurred, and also expects planned production losses related to implementing its response plan. Stellantis also expects approximately 3.3 billion euros ($3.84 billion) of pre-tax net charges mostly related to program cancellation costs and platform impairments, restructuring and the net impact of recent legislation eliminating the CAFE penalty rate. Automakers have been penalized if the average fuel economy of a their annual fleet of vehicle production exceeds a certain level. Two months ago Stellantis named Antonio Filosa as its new chief executive officer. He replaced Carlos Tavares, who resigned under pressure last year. Stellantis, which was created from the 2021 merger of France's PSA Peugeot with Italian-U.S. carmaker Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, is the world's fourth-largest car manufacturer. It is based in the Netherlands. The automaker provided preliminary financial figures on Monday in the absence of financial guidance, which it suspended in April.

Swiss sight deposits jump spurs talk of central bank currency intervention
By John Revill ZURICH (Reuters) -Cash lodged by commercial banks overnight with the Swiss National Bank rose to its highest level in 15 months last week, data showed on Monday, sparking speculation the central bank could be intervening to weaken the Swiss franc. Total sight deposits held by the SNB increased by 11.2 billion Swiss francs ($14.00 billion) to 475.3 billion francs, the highest level since April 2024. Normally an increase can be seen as a sign the SNB is buying foreign currencies from banks and crediting their accounts with newly created francs, a way to weaken the safe-haven currency whose high value has weighed on inflation. The SNB declined to comment on the data. GianLuigi Mandruzzato, an economist at EFG Bank, said the increase could mean the SNB intervened last week, although other factors could be involved. "With interest rates at zero and with the SNB reluctant to go negative, intervention is likely to be its favoured approach," he said. Maxime Botteron, an economist at UBS, said the sight deposit rise could signal interventions, although other explanations were more likely. "They could have intervened, but there was no urgent need to do so," he said. "The franc appreciated moderately against the euro last week, but did not reach the April high, and I don't think the SNB would intervene against the dollar." Instead, Botteron said the increase in sight deposits could reflect the expiration of SNB bills, where the principal is repaid to the banks who bought them at the end of their term and the money credited to their sight deposit accounts. The money could also be due to the SNB not rolling over existing repos, and instead repurchasing the instrument from banks and crediting their sight deposit accounts, Botteron said. Karsten Junius, chief economist at J. Safra Sarasin, doubted the SNB was intervening, with the sight deposit data more likely showing the SNB scaling back its use of bills and repos. "If they are reducing the use of these instruments, it could be because the SNB is trying to steer the SARON lower by taking less liquidity out of the market," he said, referring to the Swiss interbank rate.
