Juve show trust in Tiago
Tuesday 18 November, 2008

Juventus have reportedly rejected Monaco's latest approach for midfielder Tiago Mendes after his recent upturn in form.

The Portuguese international had a miserable first campaign in the Bianconeri jersey and had looked set to leave in the summer.

But after turning down possible moves to sides including Everton, Tottenham and Newcastle, Tiago has finally shown some form of late and is starting to prove his worth in Turin.

Claudio Ranieri has chosen the 27-year-old to start the last four Serie A games and he has stepped up to the mark.

According to Tuttosport, Tiago's efforts have been sufficient to convince sporting director Alessio Secco to reject the possibility of selling the ex-Chelsea man in January.

The Old Lady are expected to review the situation in the summer when they could make a move for Werder Bremen ace Diego.
