Portugal boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has urged Juventus to not miss out on the chance to sign Tiago.
The Benfica star, 23, is believed to be on Luciano Moggi’s transfer shortlist and Scolari has no doubts about his ability.
"He is a complete player," revealed the 2002 Brazilian World Cup winning boss. "He’s good in both defensive and offensive situations.
"Juventus shouldn’t allow themselves to miss out on this opportunity to sign him for the new campaign.
"He can easily be fielded in Edgar Davids’ position even if he could also do a good job as cover for Pavel Nedved."
Juventus are set to definitely sign a new midfielder in the summer with Davids coming to the end of his Bianconeri stint.
