Secco Discusses Tiago-Maxi Exchange In Madrid
Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco has held talks in Spain with Atletico Madrid over a swap deal involving Tiago Mendes and Maxi Rodriguez.
Tiago only signed for Juve from Lyon last summer in a €13m deal, however he has been a huge disappointment in Serie A.
The Bianconeri tried to offload him during the January transfer window, but were disappointed when the player rejected a €10m move to Premiership-side Tottenham Hotspur.
Atletico Madrid were also linked with a transfer during that time, and they are still interested in signing the player.
The much-maligned Alessio Secco has been involved in negotiations with Atletico over a possible swap deal, which would see Argentine star Maxi Rodriguez move to Turin.
The 27-year-old, can play in midfield and on the wing, and is a skilful and tricky customer.
The player, who holds Italian citizenship, is most famous for scoring probably the best goal at World Cup 2006, during Argentina’s second round classic against Mexico.
He was also involved in the infamous brawl that followed the quarter-final defeat to Germany, when he punched Bastian Schweinsteiger, leading to a heavy fine and a two-match suspension from FIFA competition.
