Tiago Deal Falls Through
Sky Sports News claims that Tiago and Tottenham Hotspur were unable to reach an accord, and that the deal taking the Portuguese midfielder from Juventus to England has collapsed at the last minute...
Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur had long since agreed a transfer fee for troubled midfielder Tiago, but the player's new wage demands with Spurs were said to be the sticking point in negotiations.
That certainly seems to be the case now, as Sky Sports have announced that Tiago will not be making the move to White Hart Lane after negotiations between the player and the London side broke down.
However, the Portuguese international may still be able to leave Turin before the end of the transfer window.
Bolton Wanderers and big-spending Manchester City are monitoring the situation, with the Citizens said to be considering an approach for the ex-Lyon man.
Tiago, 27, only arrived at the Old Lady in June, but has failed to establish himself as a regular under Claudio Ranieri. Previously, he served Braga, Benfica, Chelsea and Lyon.
