Confirmed: Nottingham Forest submit €12m bid for Juventus and Italy defender Savona after breakthrough season in 2024-25

Nicolo Savona could leave Juventus before the end of the summer transfer window, and Football Italia can confirm that the Bianconeri have received a €12m bid from Premier League side Nottingham Forest for the 22-year-old full-back. 

Nottingham Forest have submitted bid for Juventus’s Savona

As was initially reported by Lorenzo Lepore of SportItalia on Tuesday afternoon, Forest have submitted a €12m offer to sign Juventus Next Gen graduate Savona following his first full season in Serie A last term. 

Discussions between the two parties are ongoing. Negotiations have not yet been finalised, but the situation is one to follow closely because there is still a possibility that a final agreement is found in the near future. 

Savona, who came through the Bianconeri youth ranks, was promoted to the first-team set-up under Thiago Motta last term and went on to make 28 appearances in Serie A. 

He was not, however, included in the matchday squad for Juve’s opening match of the 2025-26 season: A 2-0 victory over Parma at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday due to an injury he picked up against Manchester City at the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this summer.
