Nottingham Forest has made a significant move in the transfer market, submitting a €12 million offer for Juventus and Italy defender Nicolo Savona. The 22-year-old full-back, who enjoyed a breakthrough season in Serie A last term, has become a primary target for the Premier League club as they look to strengthen their squad.
Reports, including an initial disclosure by Lorenzo Lepore of SportItalia, confirm that discussions are actively underway between Nottingham Forest and Juventus. Although a final agreement has not yet been reached, negotiations are progressing, indicating that a potential transfer could be finalized in the near future.
Savona is a highly-regarded product of Juventus’s esteemed youth academy, having diligently progressed through the Bianconeri ranks. His talent culminated last season when he was promoted to the first-team setup under coach Thiago Motta, making an impressive 28 appearances in Serie A and showcasing his considerable potential.
However, Savona was notably absent from Juventus’s opening match of the 2025-26 season—a 2-0 victory against Parma at the Allianz Stadium. His exclusion from the squad was due to an injury he sustained earlier this summer during a FIFA Club World Cup fixture against Manchester City, highlighting a temporary setback in his otherwise rapid ascent.
