Nuno Tavares will reportedly leave Arsenal to join Italian side SS Lazio on an initial season-long loan deal.
Due to a buy clause that will be inserted in the deal, Tavares’ move to the Stadio Olimpico will subsequently be made permanent in the summer of 2025 for a fee of €9 million.
Arsenal will understandably also include a sell-on clause in the deal, with the defender expected to travel to Italy this weekend for medical if a formal agreement is reached between the two clubs involved.
