Soccer news: Borussia Dortmund enquire about Lazio defender

Nuno Tavares Lazio full-back Nuno Tavares is expected to leave the club in January, and he reportedly has a new suitor in the form of Borussia Dortmund.

The Biancocelesti have thus decided to place the left-back on the shortlist. He has already attracted the interest of several admirers, including Sergio Conceicao’s Al-Ittihad and Besiktas, who many consider as the ultimate leaders in the race for the player’s signature.

Federico Chiesa reportedly makes decision over Juventus offer

Federico Chiesa The future of Federico Chiesa remains unresolved. The Liverpool winger has been a marginal figure under Arne Slot - since joining for a fee that could reach £12.5m back in September 2024.
