Juventus Eye Lazio and Fiorentina Aces to Bolster Wings
Igor Tudor made do with the players he had at his disposal in his schematic change after replacing Thiago Motta, but he asked the Juventus front office to bring in one or two new wing-backs to better exploit his 3-4-2-1 tactic and have more depth. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Tuttomercatoweb), the Bianconeri have set their sights on Nuno Tavares. Lazio just redeemed him from Arsenal for about €5M. They ask for €30/40M, as they owe about half of the income to the Gunners. It's never easy to haggle with president Claudio Lotito. The Portuguese international had a strong season under the Croatian coach at Olympique Marseille. Advertisement In the meantime, Andrea Cambiaso dismissed the chatter about his exit in an interview, stating he's happy at Juventus, never asked to leave, and that he perceived the team's trust in him. He's been linked to Milan lately. The Old Lady has also shortlisted Dodo and Girona's Miguel Gutierrez, Corriere dello Sport informs (via Tribuna). The renewal talks between the former and Fiorentina are stalling. The Rossoneri and Barcelona are keeping tabs on him too. The Spaniard has a €35M release clause. Napoli are very keen as well. Our Take on the Juventus Wing-Backs If Cambiaso isn't leaving as he stated, one elite addition would suffice, considering his versatility, provided Nicolò Savona grows into the role and the coach trusts Timothy Weah more. He was one of the few bright spots under Thiago Motta, even as a fullback, while he wasn't used regularly after the coaching change. Weston McKennie is serviceable everywhere, but having two weapons wide takes the formation to another level. Adding either Tavares or Dodo is a swell idea, but they are challenging targets.

Nuno Tavares pledge to have 100 metres race with Olympic long jumper
Lazio full-back Nuno Tavares has pledged to have a 100 metres race with medal-winning Italy long jump champion Mattia Furlani. The promise was revealed by Furlani on the 'Rade the King' Twitch stream and picked up by the Corriere dello Sport. Advertisement This is not an entirely wild idea, because the pair are good friends since Nuno Tavares moved to Rome to play for Lazio last summer on loan from Arsenal, making the move permanent. Furlani reveals Nuno Tavares race plans PARIS, FRANCE – AUGUST 06: Mattia Furlani of Team Italy celebrates winning the bronze medal after competing in the Men's Long Jump final on day eleven of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Stade de France on August 06, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) 'Nuno Tavares told me he wants a challenge running 100 metres! It's true, Nuno is a close friend of mine and I accepted, obviously. 'Now we are trying to organise everything…' It comes after statistical analysis from Serie A games showed that Nuno Tavares hit a speed of 35.3km/h. The friendship developed despite the fact that Furlani, who is 20 years old and won an Olympic Bronze, along with Gold at the World Indoor Championships and Silver in the European Championships, is a Roma supporter. Lazio fans on the Twitch stream messaged Furlani urging him not to take the race too seriously, seeing as Nuno Tavares has such a terrible record with muscular injuries.

Arsenal confirm first transfer of summer window as early deal finalised for defender to leave
Arsenal are set to bank between £6-7m for left-sided defender Nuno Tavares (Getty Images) Arsenal have confirmed Nuno Tavares has completed a permanent transfer to Lazio. Tavares spent last season on loan at Lazio and Arsenal will bank between £6-7million after the Serie A club actived an option to buy the 25-year-old left-sided defender. He has signed a three-year contract at Lazio which runs until June 2028. Advertisement Reports in Italy have claimed that Lazio may look to instantly sell Tavares in the hope they can make a quick profit on him. Should that happen, Arsenal would benefit as it is understood that the deal they agreed last summer includes a sell-on clause which is believed to be worth up to 25 per cent. Tavares joined Arsenal in 2021 and made a total of 28 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners (Arsenal FC via Getty Images) Tavares joined Arsenal from Benfica in 2021 but struggled to adapt to the Premier League and never established himself under Mikel Arteta. After struggling in his first season at Aesenal, Tavares spent time on loan at Marseille, Nottingham Forest and Lazio. He made 39 appearances for Marseille during the 2022-23 season, made 12 appearances for Nottingham Forest in 2023-24 and then impressed at Lazio last season. Advertisement In total, he made 28 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners. Arsenal said in a statement: 'Nuno Tavares has moved to Serie A side Lazio on a permanent transfer. 'Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Nuno for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future. 'The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.'

Forgotten Arsenal star finally leaves for Lazio - three years after his last appearance
Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares has completed a permanent transfer to Lazio for a reported £6million, three years after making his last appearance for Mikel Arteta 's side. The 25-year-old moved to the Emirates from Benfica in the summer of 2021 and made 28 appearances in all competitions during his debut season, scoring once in a 3-1 win against Manchester United. Part of a side that finished fifth, narrowly missing out on qualification for the Champions League and laying the foundations for title challenges that came in the following seasons, he was ultimately deemed surplus to requirements in the face of competition from Oleksandr Zinchenko, who joined in the summer of 2022. Tavares spent the next three seasons on loan at Marseille, Nottingham Forest and Lazio, with whom he has now signed a three-year deal. He recorded nine league assists for the Rome side as they finished seventh in Serie A last season and earned his first senior international cap for Portugal in November in a 5-1 Nations League win over Poland. In a statement, the Gunners said: 'Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Nuno for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future.' The full back has endured multiple loan spells in the last three years and has not featured for Arsenal since 2022
