Lazio’s deal for Arsenal left back Nuno Tavares gives Inter an open door for Hellas Verona full back Juan Cabal, reports highlight.
The Nerazzurri are on the hunt for a new left-footed defender after Tajon Buchanan suffered a broken tibia whilst away at the Copa America with Canada, ruling him out for at least four months, leaving a gap in Simone Inzaghi’s squad.
Cabal has impressed over the last two seasons with Hellas Verona and was being targeted by Lazio, who decided to switch focus to Arsenal’s Nuno Tavares, setting up a deal worth around €6m for the Portuguese full back.
