Everton Agree Tiago Deal
According to reports in Italy, Everton have come to an agreement with Juventus to sign Portuguese flop Tiago Mendes.
Tiago joined the Bianconeri from Lyon last year for €13m, however he has had a miserable 12 months in Italy.
It has been clear for quite some time now that Tiago would be leaving Juve this summer, providing a buyer could be found, and over the past week or so it has become a straight battle between Everton and Newcastle United for the player’s signature.
Juventus transfer director Alessio Secco admitted recently that two English clubs want to sign Tiago and, according to reports in Italy, Everton have come to an agreement with the Old Lady over a transfer fee.
The Toffees will pay €1m to take the 27-year-old on a one-year loan, and they will then have the option next summer to make the transfer permanent for €10m.
Everton will also contribute 100 per cent of Tiago’s wages, and according to the Daily Mail, the player is ready to accept a move to Goodison Park.
If the move goes through, it will be a return to the Premiership for Tiago, who spent the 2004/05 season at Chelsea, winning the championship and League Cup in the process.
