Arsenal star Nuno Tavares set to join Marseille on season-long loan transfer with medical on Friday but NO option to buy
ARSENAL ace Nuno Tavares is set to join Marseille on a season-long loan without an option to buy.
That is according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who claims the two clubs have reach a “full agreement” and Tavares, 22, will undergo a medical on Friday.
The left-back will join Marseille on loan until June but there will be no buy-out clause.
L’OM approached the Gunners after their recent negotiations with Atalanta “collapsed”.
L’Equipe reported last week that the Ligue 1 giants pulled out of the bidding war because the full-back had doubts about moving to France.
However, Marseille have ultimately beaten competition from other teams, such as Brighton, for the Portugal Under-21 international.

Romano : “Nuno Tavares set to join Olympique Marseille, medical tests on Friday.
“Arsenal and OM have full agreement on loan deal, no buy option included.
“Final check to the contracts in the afternoon then it will be signed. Here we go.”
Brighton recently joined the bidding war for Tavares as they asked for the potential conditions for a deal but it looks like they missed out.

Therefore, the Portuguese ace would struggle to make Mikel Arteta’s starting line-up this coming season.
