Exclusive: Lazio reject Al-Hilal offer for Nuno Tavares – figures revealed

Lazio's rejection of a €30 million offer from Al-Hilal for left-back Nuno Tavares suggests that the Biancocelesti are committed to retaining their key player. This could influence punters to consider betting on Lazio's strong defensive capabilities in upcoming matches, as Tavares' continued presence may enhance their chances of a solid performance.

Lazio have rejected an offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal for left-back Nuno Tavares, who has been approached by a number of different clubs in recent days, Football Italia understands.

Al-Hilal, who are now under the guidance of Simone Inzaghi following his recent departure from Inter, are on the hunt for a new left-back and have been studying a number of options in Serie A. The Saudi giants have offered €30m plus an enormous €20m-per-season contract to Milan and full-back Theo Hernandez, but that deal has not progressed and the pursuit is effectively over for now.

Roma’s Angelino has also been mentioned as an alternative option for Al-Hilal.

However, Football Italia can confirm that Al-Hilal have recently lodged an offer worth €30m, made up of €25m plus bonuses and add-ons for Nuno Tavares instead, which Lazio have since turned down. As things stand, the Biancocelesti are unwilling to entertain offers for the former Arsenal full-back, who was nominated for Serie A defender of the year after his first season in Italy.

Al-Hilal are not the only club to offer Lazio a deal for Nuno Tavares over the last few days, but the Biancocelesti remain reluctant to negotiate.
