Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is personally interested in Juventus’ 20-year-old right-back Nicolo Savona, according to Tuttosport.

Reports from France suggest that City have reached a verbal agreement with the player on personal terms, with Savona reportedly eager to join the team led by the Catalan coach. Initially, in January, Manchester City had targeted another Juventus full-back, Andrea Cambiaso, but have since shifted focus to Savona.

His contract with Juventus runs until June 30, 2029, with a market value of approximately €15 million, per Transfermarkt.

The potential transfer aligns with Guardiola’s plans to bolster City’s defense following a disappointing season.
