Chelsea face London rivals Crystal Palace in their first match of the new Premier League season on Sunday.
The Blues have won both the Europa Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup in recent months, and Enzo Maresca will hope to see his side start the new league season strongly.
The West London outfit have been handed a seemingly favourable start to the season, with games against West Ham United, Fulham and Brentford in the opening month of the campaign.
This summer has already been a busy one at Stamford Bridge, but it now appears that one member of Maresca’s squad is attracting interest from elsewhere.
According to Fabrizio Romano, defender Renato Veiga has attracted interest from several clubs with his future at Chelsea uncertain.

The Portuguese – who won the Nations League with his country earlier this summer – joined the Blues from Swiss side Basel last year and made 18 appearances for Maresca’s side during the first half of last term.
He was sent on loan to Italian side Juventus in January, though, and featured 15 times for the Old Lady during his spell in Turin.
Romano claims that German side Borussia Dortmund have shown an interest in the Portugal international, however the Bundesliga outfit consider the player too expensive at Chelsea’s current asking price.
The London outfit are said to only be considering a permanent sale of the defender, who can play at left-back, central defender, or even as a defensive midfielder.
Veiga’s contract with the Blues is set to run until the end of the 2030/31 campaign, but it appears uncertain whether or not the Portuguese will remain at Stamford Bridge beyond this summer.
