Nuno Tavares’ permanent departure is anticipated to be the beginning of Arsenal’s summer business.
Due to a stipulation in the contract, Tavares’ loan from Lazio last summer might become permanent this summer for a total of €7-8 million (£5.9-6.7 million).
Given Tavares’ strong season on loan in Italy, it is anticipated that Lazio would exercise the option.
Only Romelu Lukaku and Christian Pulisic have more assists than the left-back, who has eight in Serie A.
According to Italian reports, Lazio might try to sell Tavares right away in the hopes of making a quick profit.
Such a situation would apply to Arsenal because, as is known, the loan agreement reached last summer includes a sell-on provision that may be worth up to 25%.
To guarantee they receive future financial windfalls, the Gunners have made it a point to include sell-on clauses in recent agreements.
Last summer, the club made £2 million when Mark McGuinness, an academy graduate, came to Luton from Cardiff for £10 million.
Arsenal gained more than £2 million when Omari Hutchinson left Chelsea for Ipswich a year ago, and they made a comparable sum in January when attacker Mika Biereth joined Monaco from Sturm Graz.
In an attempt to increase their transfer budget, Tavares may be the first of several players to depart Arsenal this summer.
A fellow left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to draw attention and has one year left on his contract. In January, Borussia Dortmund had their sights set on him.
Next month, Kieran Tierney’s contract will expire, and he will return to Celtic, his boyhood team.
Additionally, Jorginho’s contract is up and Brazilian team Flamengo is making an offer.
Saudi Arabian clubs expressed interest in Leandro Trossard last year, and they may come back to try Arsenal’s resolve once more.
Albert Sambi Lokonga, a midfielder, is anticipated to depart this summer after spending the previous season on loan at Sevilla. For about £10 million, Sevilla might decide to make his move permanent.
