Footem.in – Nicolo Savona is officially heading to Nottingham Forest. Juventus confirmed the transfer after reaching an agreement with the Premier League club.
This announcement puts an end to swirling speculation about the young midfielder’s future, a topic of discussion ever since the transfer window opened.
Negotiations moved swiftly. Juventus had been in constant communication with Forest since the start of the transfer period. The English club had even considered signing Samuel Mbangula and Timothy Weah, but the deals fell through when Weah declined the move.
Forest, however, maintained a positive relationship with Juventus. A new opportunity presented itself when Douglas Luiz expressed his desire to return to England.
The clubs quickly reached an agreement, finalizing the transfer of the Brazilian midfielder in just weeks. Following that success, Forest made another move, this time to bring Savona from Turin.
Juventus General Manager Damien Comolli told Italian media that the deal with Nottingham Forest was completed Thursday afternoon, local time.
With this transfer, Juventus gains funds to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes, while Forest adds a fresh talent with Serie A experience, bolstering their midfield options.
Juventus Focus: Financial Boost and Team Stability
The sale of Savona is seen as important not only for providing financial flexibility but also for reinforcing the increasingly close working relationship between Juventus and Forest.
Many believe this business connection could lead to more transfers in the future. For Forest, acquiring Savona aligns with their strategy to improve the team’s composition and compete more effectively in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Juventus is working to finalize the contract situations of key players. One name frequently mentioned in speculation is Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker was rumored to be leaving, with AC Milan reportedly interested.
This was further fueled by the fact that he only has one year left on his contract, making Juventus open to a potential sale to avoid losing him for free.
However, as of late August, no concrete offers have materialized. Vlahovic remains calm and has not pressured the management to find him a new club. Juventus has decided to keep the striker for this season.
Damien Comolli stated that there is no tension between the club and Vlahovic. He confirmed that the striker will almost certainly stay for the entire season. According to him, there were some discussions with other clubs, but none progressed seriously.
Juventus views keeping Vlahovic as good news, considering his quality is seen as vital to improving performance in both domestic and European competitions.
