Marseille are reportedly keen to take on another Arsenal loanee this season following the success William Saliba enjoyed at the Stade Velodrome. However, this time around, the French giants seem to have learned from their mistakes and are eager to include an option-to-buy.
According to Footmercato, Jorge Sampaoli's side have submitted a loan offer to the Gunners for Nuno Tavares, who faces an increasingly uncertain futures at the Emirates Stadium. The 22-year-old defender started just 13 Premier League games this season for Mikel Arteta's side and struggled to assert himself in the first-team despite Kieran Tierney's injury misfortunes.
The report adds that Marseille have included an option-to-buy in their proposal for the left-back, though the fee is currently unknown. Tavares, who sees his contract with the north London outfit expire in 2025, has been heavily linked with a move to Atalanta lately and, in negotiations, Edu has demanded £35million from the Italian side, according to the Express.
