Nottingham Forest is interested in signing Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares, who is currently on loan at Lazio.

Nuno Tavares is set to be permanently signed by Lazio from Arsenal for six million euros. Despite his increased market value, Lazio's president Lotito is determined to resist offers even as high as 70 million euros.

Nuno Tavares has impressed this season with remarkable performances, sparking interest in his possible departure from Lazio. He is currently under a five-year contract with the Roman club. Tavares was bought for a mere five million, owing to a decrease in value from physical and adaptation issues at Arsenal. According to Corriere dello Sport, there is an agreement with Lazio for Tavares' acquisition, which includes a 40% resale clause set by Arsenal. This substantial clause might be the reason he does not yet have an exit price, as his valuation is rapidly increasing.

Nuno Tavares, known for his impressive performance of providing eight assists in nine league matches, is regarded as a standout summer acquisition for Lazio. Claudio Lotito, the club's chairman, has reportedly stated that he would not sell Tavares even for 70 million, despite interest from major clubs. Lazio invested 5 million plus 35% of future resale value for Tavares, suggesting that nearly 25 million would be directed to Arsenal if a 70 million deal were to occur. This financial arrangement might be influencing the club's intention to retain him.

Nuno Tavares has been performing exceptionally well at the start of the season for Lazio. Despite interest from other clubs, Lazio's president, Claudio Lotito, has firmly stated that Tavares is not for sale, even for 70 million euros, according to 'Il Messaggero'. Tavares joined Lazio last summer from Arsenal, initially on loan for 1 million euros, with a mandatory purchase clause of 5 million euros, totaling a cost of 6 million euros.
