Premier League
Turin's Juventus has set its sights on the right-back of Lille, Tiago Santos, in its quest to consolidate its right flank, a position that has been vacant for a long time.
The young Portuguese, only 22 years old, has caught the Italian club's attention not only for his performance in Ligue 1 but also for his positional versatility. Santos, who can play both in defense and in more offensive positions, has been a key element for Lille, accumulating three goals and three assists in 51 matches.
Tiago Santos, Juventus' new target for the winter market
Juventus' interest in Santos is also fueled by its relationship with agent Jorge Mendes, with whom the club has already closed important deals in the past. Following the addition of Francisco Conceição from Porto, the bond between the Bianconeri and the famous Portuguese representative has strengthened, and now the "Vecchia Signora" relies on Mendes to close this new deal. Juve is expected to seek to finalize the arrival of the full-back in the upcoming winter market.
The team led by Thiago Motta has shown signs of improvement in its game, but Juventus continues to seek solidity and depth in various positions. The addition of Tiago Santos could be key to bringing the club back to the forefront of European football and addressing one of its recent major weaknesses.
