Nuno Tavares spent the previous season on loan at Olympique Marseille, featuring in over 30 competitive matches. However, the defender’s performances did not merit a permanent signing by the French club.
Subsequently, Tavares moved to Nottingham Forest on loan for the current season but has encountered challenges in securing playing time. Despite a managerial change at the City Ground, his situation has not seen significant improvement, prompting considerations for a potential return to France.
Marseille recently sold Renan Lodi and is actively seeking a replacement for the Brazilian. A report from L’Equipe suggests that they are contemplating bringing Tavares back, given his prior spell with the club. They may approach Arsenal to discuss a permanent signing in the current transfer window.
While Tavares faced inconsistencies during his time in France, he did receive more playing time than he is currently experiencing at Nottingham Forest. This factor might make the player inclined towards the possibility of a transfer back to Marseille.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Tavare’s poor form at Forest has not come as a surprise, and we have to do our best to ensure he leaves us permanently by the summer.
Sending him on loan to Marseille with a favourable obligation to buy could be much better than allowing him to remain at Forest, where he does not play.

I say LET HIM STAY AT ARSENAL!!
Tavarez is like an Angel send from Heaven to solve 2 of our current problems we are having. i know there are some haters but bear me out.
I doubt Tierney will ever return to the club so without spending a penny in the transfer market he is the solution to our current leftback problem. Conventional that is as he struggles with the inverted role. The solution is staring is right in the face. I still rate Tavarez. Maybe the lad just need a little love to build up his confidence.
When Zinchenko comes back Taverez can be shifted into midfield as a box-to-box. Him and Rice can dominate our midfield for years. This dude has an engine and physique on par with Partey and Rice.
TALK ABOUT SHOOTING DOWN 2 BIRDS WITH 1 STONE!
Could have been an asset ,but thrown away way too early per usual .
Great athlete if managed right ,but there lays the problem .
TAVARES is PRECISELY the sort of total deadwood and dross, that SHOULD NEVER have been within a million miles of a clubof our level.
A stupidly huge MA MISTAKE TO EVER BRING HIM HERE AT ALL AND WASTE WAGES ON A TOTAL DUD.
SIGH!
LOKONGA LIKEWISE!
The legendary Alex Furgeston once said Ravel Morrison is the best he had ever seen, some where along the the way, the lad got lost, caught up in the hype, the pressure perhaps, am seeing the same thing in this raw talented kid.
The zero coaching seems to be the issue
He showed flashes but not enough to be part of the regular team.
It’s all very well suggesting coaching him but if not good enough to start then gain experience playing in a league elsewhere. Being coached with that club must be better than being on the sidelines here.
