Lazio demands €20m for outcast Nuno Tavares
12 Aug
Summary
- Lazio has set a €20 million asking price for Nuno Tavares.
- Porto and Besiktas previously failed to sign the out-of-favour player.
- Arsenal will receive 40% of any future transfer fee.
Lazio has officially set a €20 million valuation for Nuno Tavares, aiming to offload the defender who has not played a single minute this season. While a knee issue has been a contributing factor, the club's primary concern appears to be marketability. Earlier transfer pursuits by Porto and Besiktas did not materialize, leaving Tavares' future at the Stadio Olimpico in doubt.
The Biancocelesti are motivated to sell, but the transfer is complicated by a clause mandating 40% of any fee go to Arsenal, the player's former club. This financial detail is crucial for Lazio, which is operating under strict budget limitations and needs to generate funds for new signings requested by coach Gennaro Gattuso. A move to the Turkish Super Lig remains a possibility for the Portuguese full-back.
