Tiago makes Juve demands
Monday 3 November, 2008
Tiago Mendes has threatened to leave Juventus to return to Portugal in January if his first-team demands are not met.
In the past few weeks the former Lyon ace finally earned a space in the Bianconeri midfield, starting to justify his hefty transfer fee.
However, his latest comments will come as a real shock to both the club and fans after the situation seemed to be resolved.
“I am not playing a lot and that is why I would like to go back to Portugal,” he revealed to Portuguese TV Antena1.
“If from now until January things don't change then I will look for the best option available.”
Tiago, aged 27, has been requested by several clubs in the past including the likes of Atletico Madrid and Everton, but has always turned down any offer.
“Benfica are my team but since I am a professional I cannot say that they are the only team I would play for in my homeland.”
An interesting option for both the former Chelsea man and Juventus would be a switch with Porto defender Bruno Alves, who has been linked to the Old Lady in the past.
Despite his comments, Tiago has been praised by President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli recently and is set to start alongside Momo Sissoko on Wednesday night against Real Madrid.
