Nottingham Forest have bolstered their defensive options by securing the signature of Juventus right-back Nicolò Savona on a permanent transfer. The 22-year-old Italian defender joins the Premier League side for a fee of around €15 million (£11.25 million), signing a five-year contract at the City Ground.
Savona, who has been with Juventus since the age of eight, made his senior debut for the Bianconeri last season and impressed in limited appearances. Known for his versatility, pace, and strong tackling, he can operate as a right-back or in a wider defensive role. Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo highlighted Savona's potential, stating, "Nicolò is a talented young defender with great attributes. He's ready to compete in the Premier League and will add depth to our squad."
The move comes as Forest aim to solidify their backline amid a busy transfer window, having already added several players to push for European qualification. Savona's arrival effectively ends their pursuit of other targets like Lutsharel Geertruida from RB Leipzig. Juventus confirmed the transfer, wishing the player well after his long association with the club.Fans have reacted positively on social media, with many excited about the young talent's arrival. Savona is expected to undergo a medical today and could feature in Forest's upcoming fixtures if registered in time
