Exclusive: Lazio Reject Al-Hilal Bid for Lazio Star

Lazio left-back Nuno Tavares has landed on Al-Hilal’s shortlist, and an official offer has been made, even though Theo Hernandez remains the ultimate target.

As exclusively reported on Friday, the Portuguese star is facing an uncertain future at Lazio despite recently completing a permanent transfer from Arsenal. The Biancocelesti management and returning head Maurizio Sarri are still reflecting on whether they would like to keep the injury-prone player or sell him this summer.

We can also confirm that Al-Hilal have been keeping tabs on the former Arsenal star, as they remain hellbent on recruiting a top-notch left-back ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Saudi Pro League giants have been negotiating with Milan and Hernandez for several weeks and they have managed to significantly reduce the gap; however, they also sent a €30 million proposal to Lazio (€25 million fixed + €5 million in bonuses) to test the waters with President Claudio Lotito – an offer which was swiftly declined.
