Varandas outcast joins ex-Sporting teammate in Turkish league | OneFootball

After being dispatched by Frederico Varandas, the player may find an old Sporting athlete in the Turkish league

Tiago Djaló is close to being a reinforcement for Besiktas, the ex-Sporting João Mário. After having disappointed in his loan season at Porto, the Juventus management intends to sell the player formed at the Alcochete Academy, as he is at the end of his contract.

According to information advanced by Sky Sports, the old lady intends to receive a value in the order of 5 million euros for the 25-year-old central defender to head to the black eagles. Although it does not generate profit in this possible business, this is a scenario that prevents the Portuguese from leaving Italy at zero cost.

It is worth remembering that Tiago Djaló entered Juventus in January 2024, when he arrived from Lille for 5 million euros. Despite having a higher market value at the time of the deal, the defender was dealing with a serious injury, which significantly lowered the transfer numbers.

If the transfer is realized, Djaló will not be the only name with a past in Sporting in Besiktas. João Mário is also on the black eagles' squad after completing three full seasons in Alvalade. It is also said that the Turks are one of the possible destinations for Jeremiah St. Juste in this transfer market.

In the 2024/25 season, Tiago Djaló was loaned by Juventus to Porto. During his time at the Estádio do Dragão, the 25-year-old central defender played 17 games: eight for the Portugal League, seven for the Europa League, and two in the Portugal Cup. In 1,303 minutes on the field, he scored two goals.
