Tavares came on loan last summer at Lazio, and a clause in the deal means that the move can be made permanently this summer for between € 7-8 million (£ 5.9-6.7 million). The 25-year-old took eight assists in his first eight Serie A matches, but his season was charged with injuries, which meant that he could not get a consistent amount of time on the field.
The standard report that the Biancocelesti is expected to pick up the defender for what a bargain is for the Portuguese international who is about to enter prime. The Gunners also have a sales clause in Tavares' contract, which means that if Lazio Tavares sells in the future, the North London side will make extra profit after his sale.
Only Christian Pulisic and Romelu Lukaku have improved the number of assists that the defender has picked up this season while Lazio is haunting European qualification. Arsenal originally signed Tavares for less than £ 7 million, so their money could earn back and then more Tavares will be sold in the future in what an excellent first piece of company is for the new sports director Andrea Berta.
The will of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kieran Tierney, Jorginho, Leandro Trossard and Albert Sambi Lokonga are also linked to movements away from the club in what will be a very busy summer for Berta who will be extremely busy in the coming months.
