Arsenal, currently looking to reshape their squad, are prepared to part ways with Nuno Tavares, the Portuguese defender. This decision comes as the transfer deadline approaches, with Tavares currently playing for Nottingham Forest on loan.
Despite the anticipation surrounding his performance, Tavares has not made a significant impact at Forest. This development has led to rumors of a potential move to Olympique Marseille. Arsenal, eager to facilitate this transfer, faces a challenge as Nottingham Forest wishes to retain Tavares until June, and no recall clause exists in his loan agreement.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Arsenal is fully prepared to transfer Tavares to Marseille, provided Forest agrees to release him back to Arsenal. A return to France could be beneficial for both Tavares, who was praised by former Marseille manager Igor Tudor, and Arsenal, who could potentially profit from the sale.
Tavares, who joined Arsenal from Benfica in 2021, initially showed potential. However, his time in the Premier League has been less than impressive, with limited playtime at Forest. Arsenal now sees the opportunity to sell the 23-year-old and potentially use the funds for other signings this January.
This move by Arsenal could pave the way for new additions to their team, reflecting their strategy for the current transfer window.
