Savona emerges as a target According to GiveMeSport, City have identified Savona as a promising young talent who could provide the necessary competition for Walker. The 21-year-old Italian has impressed with Juventus, making 23 appearances and scoring two goals. His ability to combine defensive solidity with attacking flair has caught the eye of several top European clubs.

A challenging pursuit However, signing Savona will not be straightforward. The young Italian is tied to Juventus until 2029, indicating that the Turin club will demand a substantial fee to part ways with one of their most promising prospects.

City's transfer strategy Manchester City have a history of identifying and developing young talent, and Savona fits the profile of player that the club is looking to sign. The Citizens are known for their meticulous scouting network and their ability to nurture young players into world-class stars.

What next for Savona? With the transfer window now open, it remains to be seen whether Manchester City will make a formal offer for Savona. If they do, they will face stiff competition from other top clubs who are also interested in the young Italian.
