Overview

• Juventus have rejected Nottingham Forest’s opening offer in the €11–12m range for 22-year-old full-back Nicolò Savona, according to Sky Sport Italia reports relayed in Italy and the UK.
• Tuttosport reports suggest Forest are preparing an improved proposal of about €14–15m plus a 10% sell-on clause, though Juventus are still valuing the player closer to €18–20m.
• Nottinghamshire Live, citing Sports Witness, reports that personal terms are believed to be in place on a five-year deal worth around £1.7m per season, but no agreement has been reached between the clubs.
• Forest have turned to Savona after a €25m offer for Atlético Madrid’s Nahuel Molina was rejected, as Nuno Espírito Santo seeks a right-back before the 7pm Monday cutoff.
• Savona sustained an ankle injury against Manchester City at the Club World Cup, with conflicting reports over whether he has returned to training or remains sidelined.
