Arsenal to kick off their summer transfer with the permanent exit of Nuno Tavares

Nuno Tavares’ permanent departure is anticipated to be Arsenal’s first 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). Tavares’ season on loan in Italy was impressive, and it is expected that Lazio will exercise the option.

Romelu Lukaku and Christian Pulisic are the only players in Serie A with more assists than the left-back, who has eight. In the hopes of making a quick profit on Tavares, Lazio may try to sell him right away, according to reports in Italy.

A sell-on clause, estimated to be worth up to 25%, is part of the loan agreement that was agreed upon last summer, so Arsenal would be covered in such a scenario.

In recent acquisitions, the Gunners have made it a point to include sell-on provisions so they may profit from any future cash windfalls. Last summer, the club made £2 million when Mark McGuinness, an academy graduate, came to Luton from Cardiff for £10 million.

Arsenal agree first deal of summer transfer window

Tavares is anticipated to depart Arsenal this summer, the first of many players to do so. Following the expiration of his contract next month, Kieran Tierney is expected to return to Celtic on a free transfer. June marks the expiration of Jorginho’s contract, and he is close to accepting a transfer to Flamengo of Brazil.

The £6.8 million Arsenal invested four years ago will result in a slight loss as a result of this arrangement. The clear possibility of making money still exists, though.

According to reports, Lazio is purchasing Tavares specifically with the goal of selling him this summer for a sizable profit. According to reports, the agreement between Arsenal and the Italian team includes a sell-on provision that would give the Gunners a 25% share of any price Lazio is able to fetch.

Arsenal could make money this summer from sources other than the complex arrangements surrounding Tavares’ departure. The Gunners are expected to sell Leandro Trossard to the Saudi Pro League in order to fund the entrance of a much-needed center forward.
