Olympique Marseille is actively seeking to acquire Nuno Tavares to strengthen their left-back options. Arsenal has expressed a willingness to sell the player on a permanent basis.
The completion of the transfer, however, hinges on the stance of Nottingham Forest, where Tavares is currently on loan. Nottingham Forest is determined to retain the player until the end of the season in June, and the loan agreement does not include an option for early recall.
The negotiations are ongoing, and the final outcome will depend on whether an agreement can be reached that satisfies all parties involved.
