Bayer Leverkusen are among several clubs showing interest in Juventus right-back Nicolò Savona, according to Tuttosport and Juventus-focused outlet Tuttojuve.com.
The 22-year-old is seen as a potential replacement for Jeremie Frimpong, who may depart this summer, as well as Nordi Mukiele, who is expected to return to Paris Saint-Germain once his loan spell ends.
The Bundesliga champions are said to be willing to pay between €20–25 million for the Italy U21 international.
Savona has made 33 appearances for Juventus this season, contributing two goals and one assist. His contract with the Serie A side runs until 2029.
Premier League clubs Bournemouth, Everton, and West Ham are also reportedly monitoring his situation.
