Portuguese defender Nuno Tavares, 25, has been offered to Fenerbahçe and other clubs and is reportedly among the players who want to leave Lazio. Al-Ittihad has presented an advantageous contract to the former Arsenal player, but Lazio is not satisfied with the proposed transfer fee. The offer from the Saudi club is understood to be under €10 million, which does not meet the Italian club's expectations, partly because they owe 35% of any future sale fee to the Gunners. Tavares joined Lazio in July 2025 for a reported €5 million, and his contract runs until 2029. In December 2025, Lazio's asking price was reportedly at least €20 million. The full-back, who has three caps for Portugal, has made 9 appearances in Serie A this season. His current market value is €15.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
