Sky: Juventus say ‘no’ to Nottingham Forest offer for Savona

Alfredo Pedullà confirmed earlier on Tuesday that the Bianconeri have received an offer of €12m from Premier League side Nottingham Forest for Next Gen graduate Savona after his breakthrough season in Serie A last term.

Sky, who claim the offer was worth €11m, confirm that Juventus have rejected the proposal from Forest. Tuesday evening’s update confirms that the Old Lady are holding out for a fee in the region of €18m instead.

The relevant parties remain engaged in discussions over a potential deal for the 22-year-old. As things stand, Forest have not yet begun any negotiations on personal terms with Savona himself according to Sky’s update.

Savona made 28 appearances in Serie A during his first season in the first team with Thiago Motta and later Igor Tudor.

He was not involved for the 2-0 victory over Parma on the opening weekend of the 2025-26 Serie A season owing to an injury that he picked up against Manchester City during the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this summer.

Reports on Tuesday claim that the versatile full-back has since returned to training.
