Newcastle United pressure Savona and Juventus for agreement
The first suggestion of interest came from Sky Sports UK this afternoon, but that has grown rapidly in the last few hours, with reports of conversations both with the club and his entourage.
It is not the first time that the right-back has been linked with a potential Premier League move, as he was already mentioned around Manchester City in January, when they failed to secure his Juve teammate Andrea Cambiaso.
Newcastle United increase focus on Savona
Savona turned 22 in March and has been called up for international duty with the senior Italy squad, but is yet to make his debut at this level.
He only recently signed a new contract to June 2030, so was not expected to be on the market this summer, but Juventus are struggling to sell and need fresh funds to bring in different players.
Another issue Newcastle United must take into consideration is that Savona badly sprained his ankle in the FIFA Club World Cup and is going to be out until at least mid-September.
It is particularly important, seeing as Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio warns Newcastle will only go in for Savona if Tino Livramento joins Manchester City first.

Dave Allen set to face Arslanbek Makhmudov in October heavyweight headliner
A local headliner awaits fan-favorite heavyweight Dave Allen. Doncaster's Allen is set to face Canadian-based Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov on Oct. 11 at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, England, sources close to the situation told Uncrowned. Allen vs. Makhmudov will serve as the main event of a DAZN-streamed show promoted by Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing. Allen (24-7-2, 19 KOs) earned a career-best win in May in London when he knocked out the undefeated Matchroom prospect Johnny Fisher in the fifth round. It was a rematch of their first contest, which took place this past December in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Fisher won a contentious split decision on that occasion, although many felt that Allen deserved the nod. Following Allen's second win over Fisher, Hearn's Matchroom exercised a two-fight option on Allen. The first of those bouts will be against Makhmudov. In December 2023, now-top-10 heavyweight Agit Kabayel shocked Makhmudov (20-2, 19 KOs) and ended his unbeaten run. Makhmudov rebounded with a win in May 2024 but was stopped again by Guido Vianello this past August in Quebec. After knocking out Ricardo Brown in June, Makhmudov is set for another chance in a big heavyweight fight. Also expected to land on the Oct. 11 fight card is a British and Commonwealth middleweight title defense for Kieron Conway (23-3-1, 7 KOs) against George Liddard (12-0, 7 KOs), as well as the English super welterweight title rematch between Junaid Bostan (10-0-1, 8 KOs) and Bilal Fawaz (9-1-1, 3 KOs). Liddard and Conway were both on the Fisher vs. Allen 2 undercard, where they produced impressive stoppage victories. Their domestic encounter represents a crossroads matchup between a top prospect on an upward trajectory and a battle-hardened contender looking to work his way back up to another big fight at the world level.
