Portsmouth and Norwich City are both interested in Reading's Charlie Savage, who is 22 years old. Each club is looking for new players this month as they try to avoid relegation. It is believed that both teams are willing to pay the fee for Savage, who is a two-time Welsh international. Reading has set an asking price of £1.5 million for the midfielder. The League One club is reluctant to sell a key player at this stage of the season as they still aim to qualify for the play-offs. Oxford United has had two bids, one for £500,000 and another for £750,000, rejected, and it is now understood that the club cannot meet the asking price for a potential deal. Savage, who joined Reading in July 2023 and is under contract until June 2027, has made 26 appearances in League One this season, scoring two goals and providing one assist. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €850,000.
