Lazio set to secure Nuno Tavares from Arsenal in permanent €5m deal - reports

Lazio are poised to activate their €5 million option to sign Arsenal’s Nuno Tavares permanently, with the Portuguese left-back’s contract extending until 2029, according to insider Nicolo Schira.

The 25-year-old joined the Biancocelesti on a season-long loan last summer, quickly becoming a standout with eight assists in nine Serie A matches.

Arsenal have secured a 40% sell-on clause, ensuring potential future profits if Tavares is sold. This move underscores Lazio’s strategy to bolster their squad with promising talents.
