Official: Lazio sell Vecino to Celta Vigo, wait for Nuno Tavares buyer

The transfer window has closed in Serie A, but the clubs can still sell players, as Lazio sold Matias Vecino to Celta Vigo, while Nuno Tavares is still on the market.

The Biancocelesti made a lot of changes in the January session, having been banned from signing any new players over the summer due to the transfer embargo.

They also whittled down the options who no longer fit with coach Maurizio Sarri’s project.

It is now official that veteran midfielder Vecino has been sold to Celta Vigo.

His contract only had a few months left to run at the Stadio Olimpico, as he arrived in the summer of 2022 and went on to make 128 competitive appearances, scoring 13 goals.

Lazio aren’t done yet, as Nuno Tavares remains on the market, with Besiktas and Benfica interested in potentially picking up the injury-prone full-back.

Meanwhile, they have officially signed Blaz Kovac from NS Mura.
