Turin's Juventus has set a clear goal for the upcoming winter transfer market: Canadian forward Jonathan David. The sports management, led by Cristiano Giuntoli, believes that the Lille striker is the ideal piece to strengthen the attack and provide a solid alternative to Dusan Vlahovic. This decision is due to the lack of physical guarantees from Arkadiusz Milik, leading coach Thiago Motta to make constant adjustments in the team, a situation that dates back to the beginning of the preseason.
An affordable price for the Canadian forward in the next transfer market
Jonathan David, with a contract valid until June 2025, could freely negotiate a pre-contract in February next year, something that Lille wants to avoid. As reported by 'Calciomercato,' the French team's management does not intend to release him easily and demands a transfer fee of at least 20 million euros if Juventus wants him in January. Although Lille risks losing him without benefits in the future, David's demonstrated value, both in local competitions and in the Champions League, reinforces his price.
The relationship between Juventus and Lille is cordial, as demonstrated last year with the purchase of Tiago Djalò, and this precedent could facilitate the negotiations. Furthermore, the interest is mutual; Motta and David have reportedly already spoken after the Champions League draw, exchanging views on the game vision. Now, Juventus intends to finalize this operation, hoping that the Canadian can provide the necessary impetus in the attack to achieve their goals in the second half of the season.
