It seems that Nottingham Forest has made significant moves in the transfer market by bringing in 13 new players to strengthen their squad for multiple competitions. One of the notable signings includes Brazilian Cuiabano, who is set to spend the first half of the season on loan at Botafogo.
Among the acquisitions, Douglas Luiz’s signing has impressed pundits like Micah Richards and Gary Lineker. However, it is the transfer of Nicolo Savona from Juventus that has caught the attention of legendary right-back Maicon. Maicon, a Champions League-winning defender, expressed his surprise at Juventus letting Savona leave, as he believed the Italian player had the potential to become a key player for the club.
Maicon’s admiration for Savona’s abilities could be seen as a significant endorsement for Nottingham Forest and their decision to sign the player. Although Savona faces stiff competition from Ola Aina for the starting right-back position, the upcoming AFCON tournament could provide him with an opportunity to showcase his talent. With Aina likely to be away on international duty during that period, Savona will have a chance to prove his worth to manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Overall, Nottingham Forest fans can be encouraged by Maicon’s positive assessment of Savona and hope that the Italian full-back will seize the opportunity presented by the upcoming competition to establish himself in the team. The competition for places will only serve to push the players to perform at their best and improve the overall quality of the squad.
