Juventus Nicolo Savona on Manchester City Radar for Right-Back Role

Manchester City are exploring potential right-back replacements with Juventus' Nicolò Savona, 22, agreeing to personal terms. However, Flamengo's Wesley is the preferred option, with negotiations ongoing. Tino Livramento from Newcastle is also considered, though the transfer fee remains a concern.

When the summer transfer window opens, Manchester City is expected to undergo a significant shake-up, particularly in the right-back position. With the likely departure of Kyle Walker, who may not return to AC Milan despite the club’s option to buy, City has turned their attention to potential replacements. According to reports from Footmercato’s Santi Aouna, the club has verbally agreed on personal terms with Juventus right-back Nicolò Savona, a 22-year-old who is eager to join the Premier League champions.

However, Flamengo's Wesley remains Manchester City's top target, having already given his approval for the move, though negotiations with the Brazilian club are ongoing. In addition to Savona, Newcastle United's Tino Livramento is also under consideration, though the transfer fee demanded by the Magpies remains a point of contention.

With current right-back options including Rico Lewis and Matheus Nunes, there is an open acknowledgment that other players, like Bernardo Silva, could be used in the role, as seen in a recent match against Southampton. As City looks to replace Walker, the domino effect could lead them to make a move for Savona, marking a key part of their plans for the next season.
