Tiago Mendes


Turks To Gobble Up Tiago?

Juventus midfielder Tiago Mendes has had a tough time time adapting since his arrival at the club and may finally be moving elsewhere...

Tiago arrived at Juventus last summer and was expected to be a fixture in the Juve's starting XI, but he has made little impact.

In fact, the Portuguese player has made just 20 appearances for the Bianconeri, causing him to lose his spot in the Seleccao squad and miss out on Euro 2008.

Juventus' management recently declared Tiago would be playing for them again this season, but the former Olympique Lyon man is eager to relaunch his career and has attracted plenty of interest this off-season.

Atletico Madrid, Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica have all made inquiries about the player this summer, but none of them have put in a concrete bid for the midfield maestro.

However, a new party now seems to be interested in Tiago - the Turkish team Fenerbache. The Super Lig side have an abundance of talented midfielders already and Tiago could line up nicely beside the likes of Emre Belozoglu, Alex and Ugur Boral.

The 27-year-old lost his first-team spot at Chelsea when Michael Essien arrived at the club and the same thing looks to be happening at Juve with the arrival of Christian Poulsen.

Tiago signed for Juventus for a hefty sum of 13 million euros and was considered one of the biggest flops of the 2007/08 Serie A campaign.
