Milan and Lazio could swap unwanted defenders Tomori and Nuno Tavares
AC Milan and Lazio are exploring a potential swap deal for defenders Fikayo Tomori and Nuno Tavares. Tomori has fallen out of favor at Milan and is not part of the club's plans, while Nuno Tavares, currently on loan at Lazio from Nottingham Forest (having previously been at Arsenal), has also struggled to establish himself. The exchange would allow both Serie A clubs to offload unwanted players while addressing defensive needs. No official confirmation has been given, and negotiations are still in preliminary stages.
Read the full story at football-italia.netA swap deal for two out-of-favor defenders suggests both clubs are prioritizing squad reshaping within financial constraints. Tomori's departure would further reduce Milan's English contingent and open a defensive slot, while losing Tavares would push Lazio to seek alternative left-back options. The market relevance is moderate — these are rotation-level defenders, not starters, so impact on upcoming match predictions is limited but could affect depth and tactical flexibility.
