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.
