Tuttomercato reports that the Portuguese player would have been among the main candidates for a transfer without the block imposed on the summer market. His characteristics do not seem to align with the playing philosophy of the new coach, and the player has repeatedly expressed his desire to relaunch his career in Europe.

Lazio has placed a veto on any potential transfers of 25-year-old Portuguese defender Nuno Tavares due to a blocked market, preventing the club from reinforcing the team. This decision is aimed at retaining key players amidst transfer restrictions. Tavares, who has a contract with the club until 2029, has a current market value of €25.00m according to Transfermarkt. Several clubs have been linked with the player, including Al Hilal and Juventus.
