- Lazio Ready to Sign Tavares Permanently – The Italian club is prepared to activate the €5 million buy clause for the on-loan Arsenal left-back.
- Arsenal’s Missed Opportunity – With Tavares’ market value now estimated at €60-65 million (£50-54m), the Gunners could lose out on a massive profit.
- Champions League Qualification Factor – Lazio’s ability to secure a Champions League spot could further convince Tavares to stay long-term.
The Bigger Picture
Tavares has impressed in Serie A, registering eight assists this season. Lazio’s move to secure his services would come with a four-year contract extension until 2029. However, Arsenal retains a 40% sell-on clause, which means they could still earn a future percentage if he is sold for a higher price.
