Marseille refuse to sign Nuno Tavares amid nightmarish Nottingham Forest loan

Nuno Tavares is again back to square one after Marseille have backed out from pursuing a transfer this January, reports L'Equipe.

After falling far below the pecking order at Arsenal, Tavares was loaned to Nottingham Forest over the summer.

With half season done, Tavares has made just four appearances for the Premier League club.

There seemed to be some hope on the horizon for Nuno after reports of Marseille's interest emerged. After all, he endured a decent spell at the French club back in 2022/23 and a return didn't sound so bad.

Marseille have now decided to sign Quentin Merlin from Nantes instead, L'Equipe reports.

That means Tavares will have to see out his dreadful loan with Forest till the end of the season.
