Monaco 'sign Recoba and Tiago'? Channel 4
Wednesday 27 August, 2008
Jeremy Menez has flown out to pen his Roma contract, but a shock source announces “Monaco have signed Alvaro Recoba and Tiago Mendes!”
It has been confirmed by his agent that 21-year-old Menez has agreed a deal with the Giallorossi and he flew out this evening to complete the process.
“
He stayed for a few minutes at our training session this afternoon, but the deal is done and he has left for Rome,” Coach Ricardo told the Afp news agency.
While there is little doubt over that story, a new rumour has emerged that Monaco are bringing in two faces from Serie A.
“
Up until now, Monaco’s transfer policy has mainly been in sales, but I know we are getting some important buys over the next few days,” goalkeeper Flavio Roma told a radio station.
“
I was told this morning that the club has signed Recoba and practically sealed a deal for Tiago, too.”
The Italian international shot-stopper is a curious ‘mole’ at Monaco and his announcement caused shockwaves.
Recoba is out of contract after his loan spell with Torino expired and his deal with Inter went with it, so a move to Ligue 1 is entirely plausible.
Juventus are eager to be rid of Tiago, as they cannot sign a new midfielder until he is sold following a disappointing season.
He caused consternation when rejecting a transfer to Everton last week and was rumoured to be close to Atletico Madrid, but these statements suggest Monaco is his next step.
It would be a return to the country for Portuguese star Tiago, who joined Juve from Olympique Lyonnais last year for £8m.
