Portuguese player Nuno Tavares, who plays for Italy's Lazio, has expressed a strong desire to join the Saudi club Al-Ittihad in the near future. The player is clearly determined to take on the new challenge in the Roshn League.

According to reports, Lazio's management has set a financial demand of no less than 20 to 25 million euros to agree to let go of the Portuguese left-back.

The federation's interest in Tavares comes as part of its efforts to strengthen the left-back position with a player who possesses physical strength and offensive abilities, especially in light of the club's plans to reinforce its squad with outstanding foreign players.

The upcoming period is expected to witness new developments in the negotiations, provided that Al-Ittihad Jeddah submits an official offer that comes close to the demands of the Italian club.
