Juventus have reportedly sealed a deal for Tiago Djaló to join FC Porto on loan, while Filip Kostic is being pushed towards Al-Ittihad.
The transfer window has closed in most major European markets, but some are still open and could allow the Bianconeri to find solutions for some of their unwanted players.
Tiago Djaló had been all set for a loan move to Roma with option to buy for €9m plus €1m in add-ons, even undergoing a medical on deadline day.
However, the Giallorossi were unconvinced and ultimately pulled out of the deal.
The 24-year-old is now heading back home to Portugal, specifically reaching an agreement with FC Porto for a dry loan – without option to buy.
Tiago Djaló is a product of the Sporting CP academy, had a brief spell at Milan in 2019 and moved from Lille to Juventus in January 2024 for €5.1m plus bonuses.
He made just one 16-minute appearance in the Juventus jersey.
As for Kostic, he is not part of new coach Thiago Motta’s plans, but has turned down several transfers this summer already, including Southampton.
Running low on alternatives, he is in talks with Al-Ittihad for a permanent transfer, but with the Saudi Pro League deadline tonight, another option will be Turkey until September 13.
The other outcast currently weighing on Juventus is Arthur Melo.
