Nuno Tavares, currently on loan at Lazio from Arsenal, is drawing significant attention in Italy following a series of standout performances in Rome. His displays have not only impressed Lazio, who are keen to retain him beyond the current campaign, but have also sparked interest from several other clubs, according to Just Arsenal sources.
Juventus are among the most notable suitors, closely monitoring Tavares as they consider reinforcing their left-back options. The Turin club’s interest is partly driven by the possible departure of Andrea Cambiaso, who could be sold for a fee in the region of €50–55 million. Juventus view Tavares as a cost-effective replacement, with his valuation reportedly less than half of Cambiaso’s potential sale price.
Interest in Tavares is not limited to Serie A. Premier League sides, including Nottingham Forest and Brighton, are also tracking his progress.
Despite Tavares suffering several muscle injuries during the season, Juventus remain determined to secure his services, underlining its urgency to address the left-back position. The transfer could be finalised during the Club World Cup in June, adding further intrigue to the situation.
Negotiations may yet become more complex, as Arsenal’s interest in Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic could open the door to a possible swap deal involving Tavares. This potential development adds another layer to what is already shaping up to be one of the summer’s most closely watched transfer sagas.
From Arsenal’s perspective, offloading Tavares will free up space in the squad for next season, raise some funds and reduce the wage bill. It is a shame that it has not worked out for him at Arsenal; he is undoubtedly a good player, he has shown that in Italy and whoever does sign him will get a player that will be an asset, as long as he can stay free of injury for a consistent period.
There is no way this kid should be selling for under £20 mill.
Berta must prove his credentials and clean up this mess, we need the additional funds in the war chest for signing of Florians and Isak, the gaffer must be back to the hilt once more.
Once more ?
Net spend approx like 20 million in last 3 windows
Remember we did not enter the market in January, that’s strategic planning in my opinion.
Once the gaffer remain in charge you have to back him,
Arsenal is almost their in terms of a solid and robust team, just two or three more signing to strengthen the spine and to facilitate like for like rotation.
Net spend over the last 5 seasons is 480m – almost 100m per season on average. It was less last summer, but it had to slow down at some point, surely?
At some point but not now, there is just a little beam of light at the end of the tunnel
I wish we hadn’t loaned him out. But we need to make some from the sale.
Make some money
Dan, have you taken into account FFP, PSR and the £324m the club owes Kroenke ?
Yes
So you then know that the money owed to Kroenke has an effect on us spending due to PSR.
We must have a hell of a lot of good players on the left side of the pitch since we apparently want to sell Tavares instead of giving him another chance. He has done fantastically at Lazio. I have seen several games with him and I regret that we let him go on loan. I remember Arteta once didn,t want to use Saliba and loaned him out.
What’s Arteta thinking of, getting rid of Tavares. It’s not like we’ve got a lot of left backs is it.😂🤣👍😉
