According to the Ass, negotiations to introduce Vega at Atletico Madrid have begun, and they may rent first and then buy it.

Atle Madrid is looking for a central defender to perfect the central defender combination of Le Norman, Gimenes and Lenglet. Atletico Madrid had to launch alternatives as Tottenham refused to negotiate on Christian Romero, and 21-year-old Chelsea defender Vega became their new target.

Vega's name is no stranger to Atletico Madrid's management, because Atletico Madrid has been following him for a long time. When Vega was still playing for Basel, Atletico Madrid began to investigate him. In addition, when Vega was loaned to Juventus by Chelsea, Atletico Madrid was also paying close attention to the player's situation.

According to the Ass, Vega is an option for Atletico Madrid to fill the gap in defense left by Witsel and Renierdo. It is estimated that Chelsea’s asking price is about €35 million, and there are many clubs interested in the player, which is the price the Blues have proposed to them.

In January this year, Vega was loaned to Juventus by Chelsea and became a regular member of the latter. Juventus also hopes to keep Vega, but their financial situation is not ideal. Due to limited funds, they have had to give up their pursuit of Hanzko. It is worth noting that Hanzko is also on Atletico’s shortlist.

As far as Chelsea is concerned, they have many choices in the central defender position. Although they also value Vega, the team space cannot accommodate everyone. Vega prioritized playing time, and he was not against changing the environment, which was also the reason why he went to Juventus during the winter window.

A good relationship between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid may make the deal smoother, with the two teams' most recent deals being a transfer between Gallagher and Felix. Negotiations between the two sides on Vega have begun, and Atletico Madrid may consider a loan with a buyout clause.

At anyway, Atletico Madrid needs a central defender, and Vega is more economical than other defenders associated with Atletico Madrid (such as Inkapier, Lukumi or Hanzko). In addition, Vega can serve as the left back, which is also highly valued by Atletico Madrid.

After transferring to Chelsea, Vega rose rapidly, was selected for the Portuguese national team, and played in the UEFA Nations League final. The player doesn't want to miss the World Cup, and to do that, he needs playing time, which is good news for Atletico Madrid.
