Juventus and Milan could be ready to fight it out for Lyon midfielder Tiago, according to reports in Italy.

The Portuguese international has previously suggested that his future may not lie with the French champions.

Juve are looking to strengthen their squad after being promoted to Serie A and have reportedly approached Lyon over the player.

However, there are now claims that Milan have stepped up their interest in the last few days as they look to bring down the average age of their squad.

Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas is an expert in obtaining big transfer fees for his stars and is adamant Tiago wonâ€™t go cheap.

He apparently wants at least 18 million euros for the player who he signed from Chelsea nearly two years ago.

Would you say he was a champion at Chelsea?

I hope he goes to one of the Serie A clubs it will be interesting to see how he copes.

Didn't have an earth shattering season with Chelsea but he did feature regularly enough, with enough contribution that I would label him as such. In the strictest sense he was there to win the premiership in 04/05 so that makes him a champion. He just couldn't hammer down a permanent spot in a Chelsea midfield so he left to find more regular football, which he deserved.
