Nottingham Forest's Nicolò Savona has agreed personal terms with Atalanta, according to Sportitalia. The 23-year-old defender, who joined the Reds last year for €13 plus add-ons, is now set to discuss a potential transfer with the Serie A club.

What happened?

Savona made 20 competitive appearances for Nottingham Forest, scoring two goals and providing two assists, before his season was cut short by a serious knee injury. The Italian defender was called up to the senior Italy side without receiving a cap.

Why it matters for Nottingham Forest

The potential transfer of Savona could have significant implications for Nottingham Forest's squad. The Reds are currently 16th in the Premier League, with 33 points from 32 games, and recent form of DWDDL. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on 2026-05-24.

What comes next?

Atalanta and Nottingham Forest must now reach an agreement on the transfer fee, which could be a loan with option to buy becoming an obligation. The total cost of the operation is expected to be in the region of €14-15m, with 10 per cent of that going to Juventus. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 16th in Premier League | | Points | 33 | | Recent form | DWDDL | | Last result | Nottingham Forest 1-1 Bournemouth | | Date | 2026-05-24 | Nottingham Forest are currently sidelined without O.
