Juventus are reportedly targeting Jonathan David as a potential free transfer signing, according to Corriere dello Sport. The Canadian striker, currently valued at €50 million by his club Lille, could become available for free at the end of the current season when his contract expires. This situation presents a lucrative opportunity for Juventus, who could acquire David without a transfer fee, aside from agent commissions.
David has impressive career statistics, scoring 124 goals in 273 professional appearances. Before pursuing a contract, Juventus plans to evaluate David during their upcoming Champions League encounter. Manager Thiago Motta sees David as a potential successor to Joshua Zirkzee and is keen to observe his performance against Juventus defenders Federico Gatti and Gleison Bremer.
Juventus’s Director of Football, Cristiano Giuntoli, is expected to make a move for David if the test proves successful. Giuntoli, known for his successful signings at Napoli, is looking to strengthen Juventus’s squad with talented players capable of restoring the club’s former glory.
