Porto looks to add Lazio's Nuno Tavares pending Villas-Boas decision

Summary

Porto head coach Francesco Farioli seeks to acquire Lazio full-back Nuno Tavares, pending a decision from club president Andre Villas-Boas. Lazio confirmed the signing of Alfonso Pedraza, prompting the need to sell one left-back, with Tavares and Luca Pellegrini as options. Porto reportedly values Tavares at €20 million, with a 35% sell-on fee to Arsenal. Interest from Besiktas has diminished as they shift focus to Dango Outtara from Monaco. Tavares would return to Portugal for the first time since 2021 after his stint at Arsenal.
