Juventus have taken concrete steps towards securing Jonathan David, the talented Canadian striker currently playing for Lille. Recent reports from Calciomercato indicate that the Old Lady’s transfer team has made contact with David’s agents, seeking detailed information about potential salary demands, agent fees, and contract duration. The discussions were comprehensive, with David expressing his interest in Serie A and the prospect of joining the Bianconeri.
David has officially informed Lille that he will not be renewing his contract, which expires in July. The 23-year-old feels ready for a move to a top European club and is aware that he will be a hot commodity in the transfer market. It remains to be seen whether a move could materialize in January or, more likely, next summer when he becomes a free agent.
While Barcelona has shown indirect interest in David, sending signals to his entourage, the real battle seems to be shaping up as a “Derby d’Italia” in the transfer market. Inter Milan, with sporting director Piero Ausilio known to be an admirer of the Canadian international, could make a move in the coming weeks. However, Juventus has already taken the initiative by establishing initial contact.
Interestingly, AC Milan, often linked with David in previous transfer windows, appears to be out of the race for his signature. This development sets the stage for an intriguing contest between Juventus and Inter for one of the most promising strikers in European football.
