Juventus midfielder Tiago Mendes has set his heart on glory in the Bianconeri shirt and has called Antonio Cassano to Turin.
Tiago endured a miserable start to his Juve career after arriving in the summer of 2007.
The Portuguese international failed to impress the demanding fans and was dubbed a flop, but he is slowly settling in Serie A and winning some respect.
“I want to win the Scudetto with Juventus this season,” Tiago declared in the Corriere dello Sport.
“Some people are saying that the race for the title is over after our draw with Sampdoria and Inter's derby win over Milan, but that is certainly not the case.
“Inter do have a big lead and nine points is a lot, but there are many games left to go and we just need to keep on winning.
“I also want to win the Champions League and we still believe we can do that this year.
“I don't know whether we will or if that will have to wait for next season, but one day I would love to lift that trophy.”
Tiago also responded with enthusiasm to recent suggestions that Sampdoria striker Cassano will join Juve.
“I would love to see Cassano arrive at the club,” the former Chelsea man stressed.
“He is a player of great quality and I am always hearing lots of good things about him.
“I think that he has the potential to make us even better because I believe he could co-exist with Alessandro Del Piero.”
