Tiago Djalo’ told to choose

Multiple sources now confirm Juventus have agreed a €3.5m fee with Lille for Tiago Djalò, who must now decide whether to join them or wait for Inter as a free agent.

The Portugal international will be out of contract at the end of the season, so this January transfer window is the last opportunity for LOSC to get anything from his sale.

With that in mind, Footmercato, Sportitalia and Fabrizio Romano all confirm that Juventus have worked out a fee of €3.5m to sign Tiago Djalò from Lille straight away.

However, it has been reported for some time that the player was prepared to wait until the summer to make his move to Inter as a free agent.

The big problem for the 23-year-old defender is that Lille could threaten to bench him for six months if he refuses to join Juventus and instead holds out for a free transfer.

To make matters more complicated, the player is currently out of action with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

He is no stranger to Italy, as Milan purchased him from Sporting CP in January 2019 for €1m and sold him on six months later at a profit for €4m.
