Juve got to pay £17m if you want Savona, Reds are told

REPORT CLAIMS FOREST ARE GIVEN PRICE FOR ITALY U21 FULL-BACK NICOLO AFTER 'FIRST OFFER IS REFUSED'

- By KEITH WALES

NOTTINGHAM Forest have been told it will cost them more than £15m to land Juventus fullback Nicolo Savona.

Boss Nuno Espirito Santo is in the market for a new right-back before Monday's 7pm transfer deadline, and it seems Savona fits the bill.

Initial reports out of Turin claimed Forest had already offered €11m (about £9.4m) for the player, but have been knocked back by Juve, who have responded by demanding a fee of €18m for the Italy under-21s defender.
