Savona, under contract with Juventus, has gradually gained exposure in the Bianconeri’s first team after impressing in their youth ranks. His performances in Serie A and for the Italian youth national team have not gone unnoticed, with several European clubs reportedly tracking his development.
His current market value is estimated at €12 million, according to Transfermarkt a figure considered affordable for Atlético Madrid and well within reach compared to top-tier defenders.
