Atletico Madrid have opened talks with Juventus over a permanent deal for midfielder Tiago.

The former Chelsea star can be signed by Atletico for €8 million, though they want to drive down the price to around €6.5 million.

Atletico chief Miguel Angel Gil Marin met with new Juve GM Beppe Marotta to open talks about a new price for Tiago.

The Madrid giants have made it clear to Tiago that they want to keep him for next season after his successful six-month loan last term.
