Nuno Tavares earns first Portugal call-up after impressive Lazio start

Lazio and former Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares has earned his first call-up to the senior Portugal national team squad after an impressive start to life in Serie A with the Biancocelesti so far in 2024-25.

Tavares included in latest Portugal squad

Tavares is one of three Serie A players to be included in Roberto Martinez’s latest squad, alongside Milan’s Rafael Leao and Juventus’s Francisco Conceicao. Tiago Djalo, currently on loan at Porto from Juventus has also been included.

It is a first call-up to the senior side for Nuno Tavares, who joined Lazio on loan with an option to buy in the summer. The Biancocelesti reportedly agreed to pay a €6m fee if the move is made permanent, also including a 20% sell-on clause for Arsenal.

The 24-year-old has taken to life in Serie A with ease, providing eight assists from his first eight Serie A matches of the season.

Portugal are due to play against Poland on November 15 and will then have another Nations League match away against Croatia on November 18.
