It appears that the much-anticipated transfer of Tiago Djalo to Juventus may not have gone as smoothly as planned.
The Portuguese defender, who was brought to Turin in January with the expectation of becoming the heir to the legendary Alex Sandro, has yet to play a single minute for the club.
This has led to speculation that he may be sent out on loan next season, as reported by Giovanni Albanese via JuventusNews24.
According to multiple sources, including Calciomercato, the 23-year-old has struggled to find his place in the team due to the club’s recent poor performances and his own recovery from an ACL injury.

The injury, which occurred in March 2023, has kept him sidelined for nearly a year, and it appears that he has yet to regain full fitness and confidence on the pitch.
Juventus, known for their high expectations and demanding environment, may be looking to loan Djalo out to a Serie A club next season to allow him to gain experience, playing time, and a chance to recover without the pressure of competing for a starting spot in Turin.
This decision is seen as a way to evaluate his potential for a return to the club in the future.
The Bianconeri’s decision to loan out Djalo is not without precedent. The club has a history of loaning out players to gain experience and playing time, with mixed results.
Some players, such as Daniele Rugani and Mattia De Sciglio, have returned to the club and become valuable contributors, while others have not been able to make the cut upon their return.
As for Djalo, it remains to be seen where he will end up next season. There has been no official confirmation from Juventus or any other clubs regarding a loan move.
However, given the information available and the speculation surrounding his future, it seems likely that the young defender will be playing for a different team come next season.
In the meantime, Juventus fans will be keeping a close eye on the situation, hoping that Djalo can recover from his injury and eventually fulfill his potential as a key player for the club.
For now, though, it seems that his journey to becoming the next Alex Sandro may take a detour through another Italian club.
