Atletico Madrid have sealed a deal for Juventus midfielder Tiago on a one-year loan, revealed the club's official website on Monday.

The 29-year-old had been on the outskirts of the Bianconeri squad since his arrival from Lyon in 2007, but had also spent the latter half of last season on loan at the Vicente Calderon, impressing under coach Quique Sanchez Flores and making 18 appearances in La Liga while scoring twice.

"Tiago has been signed on loan for one season," read a statement released by the Europa League winners.

"The midfielder will join the team for training on Tuesday."

No financial terms of the deal have been immediately released, but it was originally reported that the Portuguese international, who featured at the 2010 World Cup, was wanted on a permanent deal by Atleti.

Flores had recently expressed his desire to re-sign the player as he added 'vision' and creativity to the side.
