Milan And Juve In Tiago Battle? Juventus and Milan could be ready to fight it out for Lyon midfielder Tiago, according to reports in Italy.
Milan And Juve In Tiago Battle?

The Portuguese international has previously suggested that his future may not lie with the French champions.

Juve are looking to strengthen their squad after being promoted to Serie A and have reportedly approached Lyon over the player.

However, there are now claims that Milan have stepped up their interest in the last few days as they look to bring down the average age of their squad.

Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas is an expert in obtaining big transfer fees for his stars and is adamant Tiago won’t go cheap.

He apparently wants at least 18 million euros for the player who he signed from Chelsea nearly two years ago

Tiago has been quite good for Lyon this past year. I rather like him. But would he accept what will probably be a bench/sub role at Milan?

I think this is the only thing that will stop us getting him.

he'll be getting lots of play, we're gonna be playing lots of games and our midfield is short staffed. i can even see him getting a starters role eventually.

Getting 'lots of play' isn't good enough for Tiago, he played plenty of minutes for Chelsea, as they had quite a depleted midfield throughout some of their seasons. But he knows he's good enough to start, which he proved at Lyon. He's gone there and proved he's not 'just a deensive midfielder' just check how many goals he's scored. It's not just in France either, he had a very good CL campaign with Lyon.

I'm one of Ambro's biggest fans, but Tiago tops him for me, if we can get him that'd be superb news.
