Benfica academy full-back has several suitors, including... Porto | OneFootball

Nuno Tavares, former Benfica player, could be on his way back to Portuguese football, with Porto emerging as one of the clubs interested in signing him. The Portuguese international, now 26, did not hide the difficulties he faced last season at Lazio, where he managed just one assist in 28 matches, in a campaign marked by some inconsistency.

Porto appears as a possible destination for a return to Portugal, at a time when the player is looking to relaunch his career at the highest level.

Developed at both Sporting and Benfica, Nuno Tavares left the Estádio da Luz in 2021 to join Arsenal for around eight million euros. However, the full-back failed to establish himself at the English club and was subsequently loaned out to Marseille and Nottingham Forest before moving to Italian football.

During his time at Benfica, Nuno Tavares made 25 appearances for the first team, spread across the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons, scoring one goal and providing four assists. In total, the full-back recorded 1,561 minutes for Benfica’s senior side before moving to Arsenal.

Wearing the Gunners shirt, the full-back also failed to deliver the expected performances, taking to the pitch in just 22 matches across two seasons with the London side, scoring one goal and adding one assist.
