“What happened to Djalo? », is the headline in Italy, where the Portuguese central defender set down his bags last winter. A question that the Italian press has tried to address in recent weeks. To secure his services, Juventus Turin had anticipated in order to beat Inter Milan, the first club on the scene. At the end of the contract, Tiago Djalo wanted to quickly leave LOSC and therefore gave in to the calls from the Old Lady. However, two months after his departure, he has still not set foot on the transalpine lawns. Called up for the very first time during a match played away against the previously mentioned Lombard team (04/02), the defender never left the bench.

In the middle of February, Massimiliano Allegri was questioned about it at a press conference. The technician then mentioned his problems and a need for time: “He is coming back from injury and working well with the team, he is growing and will be useful by the end of the season”, he said. A month later, the end of the season is approaching and the old Mastiff has still not appeared. In the Italian press, we now say that it is simply not “not yet in full possession of his means” and he is not ready to follow “the rhythm of a meeting” in official competition.
