Nottingham Forest Boosts Defensive Line with the Addition of Versatile Player Nicolo Savona
Nottingham Forest Bolster Squad with Signing of Star Defender Savona
Nottingham Forest have made a significant move in the transfer market, securing the services of highly-rated Italian defender Nicolo Savona from Juventus on a five-year deal. The deal, worth up to £13.4m (€15.5m), sees Savona become the second player to join Forest from Juventus in recent weeks.
Savona, who made his senior debut for the Old Lady in August 2024, expressed his excitement about joining Nottingham Forest. The defender, who has made 40 appearances for Juventus' first team across Serie A, the Champions League, and the Club World Cup, is set to bolster Forest's defence as they embark on their first European campaign in 30 years this season in the Europa League.
The 25-year-old Italian international, who joined Juventus' academy at the age of eight, helped Juventus keep five clean sheets during his tenure. His impressive performances earned him a new deal with the Turin giants in June, but the opportunity to play in England and compete in Europe proved too tempting to turn down.
Nottingham Forest's manager, Nuno Espírito Santo, has been active in the transfer market this summer, with Savona joining a host of new signings. The East Midlands club have also brought in Omari Hutchinson, James McAtee, Arnaud Kalimuendo, and Dan Ndoye as they look to build a squad capable of challenging for honours in the Premier League and Europe.
Savona's arrival is a coup for Nottingham Forest, who will be hoping that the defender can help them navigate the challenges of European football and push for a top-half finish in the Premier League. With Douglas Luiz joining on loan for the 2025-26 season, Forest fans will be excited about the prospect of watching their team compete at the highest level.
Despite the excitement surrounding Savona's arrival, there is no information available on the coach who organized the signing. Regardless, Forest fans will be eager to see the Italian international in action when the new season kicks off.
Savona's international career is also on the rise, having earned his first Italy call-up in November 2024. However, the defender is yet to make his first appearance for the national team. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Forest fans will be hoping that Savona can establish himself as a regular in the Italy squad and help his country to glory.
As Nottingham Forest continue their preparations for the new season, the signing of Nicolo Savona is a major boost for the club. With a host of new signings and the prospect of European football to look forward to, Forest fans will be optimistic about the future. Let the excitement begin!
