FC Porto eye Nuno Tavares, but move is on the back burner | OneFootball

Nuno Tavares, currently at Lazio, is on FC Porto’s radar to strengthen the left side of the defence, although the move is not a priority for now. The blue-and-white board is focused on other transfer dealings, namely Rodrigo Mora’s departure to AS Roma and the signing of Santiago Giménez. Only after those dossiers are concluded should they move forward with the arrival of a left-back and another midfielder.

The 26-year-old defender, who came through clubs such as Casa Pia, Sporting and Benfica, had already been linked with the Dragons at the end of June. In Italy, the Portugal international is said to be a player appreciated by Francesco Farioli. Even so, any potential approach will depend on how priorities evolve and on the availability within the squad, which currently has Zaidu and Francisco Moura for the position.

The possibility of Nuno Tavares gaining fresh momentum is linked to the difficulties posed by Tottenham over the loan of Souza, a Brazilian left-back who is very highly rated by FC Porto. Faced with the impasse with the English club, the blue-and-whites have made exploratory contacts with Lazio regarding the Portuguese player.
