Sky Sport Italia and other reports claim that Besiktas will sign Nuno Tavares on loan with an obligation to buy for €10 million, with Lazio replacing him with Villarreal’s Alfonso Pedraza.
It has been clear for some time that the former Arsenal man is not suited to Maurizio Sarri’s style of football, and even during an injury crisis he has fallen down the pecking order.

Lazio have already sold Matteo Guendouzi to Fenerbahce and now they are doing business with the Turkish side again and have agreed to hand over the left-back.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, it will be a loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the season for €10 million.
This is significantly lower than the €18 million demand mentioned by LaLazio Siamo Noi last week.

At the same time, Sky Sports Italy transfer experts also pointed out that Lazio has found a replacement for the 29-year-old left back Pedraza.
His contract expires on June 30, so there will be a small fee to allow him to leave Villarreal early.
