Juventus Show Tiago Fist Of Steel

The unwanted midfielder is refusing to leave the Bianconeri despite the club trying everything to kick him out of the Stadio Olimpico door.Juve sporting director Alessio Secco was furious after the Portuguese rejected a move to Everton. The club have now reacted by banishing him from the Champions League.Coach Claudio Ranieri is trying hard to get rid of the player and the week ahead is the club’s last chance to off load Tiago as the transfer window closes on Sunday.La Gazzetta Dello Sport claims the player has two options left: moving to either Porto or Benfica. However, Tiago would need to take a significant pay cut if he was to move to Portugal.Juve are running out of patience with their man, who seems happy just to warm the bench, cash his cheques and waste away his career.The Bianconeri paid £13m for Tiago from Lyon last year but it was, perhaps, one of the worst transfers in history, as the player has constantly made the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
