Tiago Mendes has admitted that he’d like to join Atletico Madrid on a permanent basis from parent club Juventus.
The Portuguese international joined the Spaniards on loan in January and is starting to show his form of old.
Speaking to Cadena Ser, the man signed from Lyon for £11m in the summer of 2007 says he wants to end his Italian nightmare.
“I don’t want to go back to Italy,” said the former Chelsea player. “However, I still have two years left on my contract with Juventus and I can’t decide on what will happen.
“Atletico Madrid is a special club,” he added. “The fans have great passion and us players feel it.”
Juventus are understood to be willing to sell Tiago if a club makes a big enough offer for his services. [/FONT]
