Atalanta have doubts about signing Nottingham Forest's Nicolo Savona
Quick summary
Atalanta are reportedly hesitant about pursuing a deal for Nottingham Forest defender Nicolo Savona, with concerns emerging over the potential transfer.
What happened
Atalanta are weighing up whether to move forward with the signing of Nicolo Savona from Nottingham Forest, but internal doubts have reportedly surfaced. The Italian club appears to be evaluating the deal carefully rather than committing. Savona, a defender, has been linked with a return to Italian football, though the nature of Atalanta's reservations remains unclear. The situation is still developing and no decision has been publicly confirmed.
Chance analysis
Atalanta are known for their data-driven recruitment approach under the Percassi family and their sporting directors. Hesitation over a target like Savona suggests either valuation concerns, tactical fit questions, or competition from other clubs. For Nottingham Forest, if Atalanta pull back, their ability to recoup a fee or offload a squad player diminishes. This remains a developing situation with limited confirmed details.
If Atalanta withdraw, Nottingham Forest may need to find an alternative buyer for Savona; if Atalanta proceed, they add defensive depth.
