The Black and Whites have put Portuguese left-back Nuno Tavares back on their agenda for mid-season transfer efforts. Sources close to the club state that Beşiktaş has accelerated negotiations with Lazio and is preparing an offer to loan the player with a purchase option.

Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı responded to a question about the transfer process at a press conference yesterday with the following words: "The initial contact regarding Nuno Tavares was made with one agent, and then his agent changed. He has a different agent now. Anything can happen at any moment." Adalı's statement indicated that the doors remain open for the transfer.

Reports in the Italian press noted that the Black and Whites will submit a loan offer to Lazio where the purchase option will be conditional. It was emphasized that this option would not be mandatory but would be activated if certain criteria are met.

If an agreement is reached, the plan is to sign the Portuguese left-back on loan until the end of the season, followed by a 4-year long-term contract.

Nuno Tavares, who has appeared in 10 matches for Lazio this season and stayed on the pitch for 533 minutes, has contributed 1 assist for the Italian team so far. New developments are expected in the transfer process in the coming days.
