Absent from the group selected by Thiago Motta to face Stade Brestois in a friendly match this Saturday, Tiago Djalo already seems destined to leave Juventus Turin.
Juventus Turin wants to restore its image and, following the departure of Massimiliano Allegri, it is on Thiago Motta that it has chosen to bet. The Italian coach, who made Bologna shine throughout the past season, intends to mold the Old Lady and its squad to his image, but to do this, departures will have to be recorded. Four arrivals (Michele Di Gregorio, Khephren Thuram, Juan David Cabal and Douglas Luiz) have been made and to continue this renewal, a reduction in the size of the squad is on the agenda. The Italian press is unanimous on this subject, carried by Sky Italia and the Sports Courier who cite eight items cataloged as undesirable: Federico Chiesa, Tiago Djalo, Arthur Melo, Wojciech Szczęsny, Daniele Rugani, Mattia De Sciglio, Filip Kostic and Hans Nicolussi-Caviglia.
Following the draw conceded against Stade Brestois (2-2), Thiago Motta also provided an update on the situation of these eight players, absent from the group called up for this duel: “We have been clear with Federico Chiesa and with the other players who have stayed at home. We have good players, who are used to playing regularly, and who can perhaps do so elsewhere. The club is looking for solutions for them, and they should do the same, for the good of all. The decisions have already been made.”he said to Sky Sports. Thus, having arrived last winter from LOSC (€6.2 million including bonuses), Tiago Djalo (23 years old) could be forced to leave Piedmont only six months after his arrival and sixteen short minutes played in an official match. And she wasPortuguese press, recently reported an interest from FC Porto.
