Maicon surprised that Nottingham Forest were able to sign ‘key’ Juventus man

Maicon expressed surprise at Nottingham Forest’s ability to acquire a “key” Juventus player.

The remaining recruits are expected to be a part of Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad, however Brazilian Cuiabano will be on loan at Botafogo for the first half of the season. Micah Richards and Gary Lineker were pleased with Douglas Luiz’s acquisition, while renowned right-back Maicon was taken aback by another Juventus transfer. Speaking recently, the Champions League-winning defender expressed his disbelief that Nicolo Savona was let to leave the Old Lady. The right-back knows what it takes to be a top-tier fullback, and Maicon is a legendary player.

Last season, Nicolo Savona pleased the former Inter Milan player, who has been closely following Italian football. The Brazilian expressed his admiration for the Italian and said that he was surprised Juventus would release a player of such calibre. “I really liked Savona last season,” Maicon remarked in an interview with Tuttosport via Alfredo Pedulla. I was shocked by his sale since I believed he could be a vital member of Juventus.

Although the 44-year-old is shocked by the move, Nottingham Forest was able to capitalise on Juventus’ need to sell, and the club’s supporters would be thrilled by the appraisal from a player of Maicon’s calibre. Even though Savona has performed well in Serie A, he still faces a difficult task of starting at right back for Forest, though AFCON might be able to aid.
