It was expected and it is now official: the Portuguese defender, Tiago Djaló, leaves Lille and flies to Juventus. The Piedmontese club announced the good news to its fans this Monday evening. Returning from a cruciate ligament injury, he left the Mastiffs to sign for the Old Lady. The transfer is estimated at 3.5 million euros. Asked about his now former player, Lille coach Paulo Fonseca wanted to reassure Juventus supporters in an interview for the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Tiago Djaló is a new Juventus player. The Portuguese defender, born in 2000, arrived at the Bianconeri on a permanent basis from LOSC Lille and signed a contract which binds him to our colors until 2026. Measuring 1.90 meters, Tiago is a central defender who likes duels and is physically strong, but at the same time he is capable of setting up the action given his history in the youth team as a defensive midfielder”it is written in the official press release.
