Juventus saved 15m euros from signing Jonathan David Juventus have reached a full agreement to sign Jonathan David in this transfer window, with the striker set to join them on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract at Lille. The Bianconeri had tracked the Canadian forward for several seasons, and his decision to run down his contract opened the door for a long-awaited move to Turin. ............ While the free-agent status made David a highly attractive option, the negotiations were anything but straightforward. His representatives were initially demanding a package worth around €25 million in commissions and signing-on fees, a figure that stalled discussions with multiple clubs, including those from Saudi Arabia and Turkey. However, David made it clear that his preference was to remain in one of Europe’s top five leagues. Juventus capitalised on this desire and, after several weeks of talks, convinced the striker to lower his demands significantly. The final agreement saw the club save nearly €15 million on the initial financial expectations, making the deal much more manageable under the club’s current budgetary constraints. ............ While other suitors could offer larger financial packages, David’s camp reportedly prioritised the quality of the project on offer. Juventus, who are planning to offload Dusan Vlahovic and reshape their attack, offered the Canadian international the clearest path to top-level football and a central role under Igor Tudor. ............ The official announcement is expected imminently, but Juventus fans can already begin to get excited. ............ .

What does signing Jonathan David mean for Juventus? Juventus have secured an agreement to add Jonathan David to their squad as a free agent following the Canadian’s departure from Lille last summer. David has been one of the most consistent strikers in European football in recent seasons and was highly regarded during his time in France. Lille would have preferred to retain him, but the player is now set to continue his career in Italy. ............ Juventus have been planning changes to their attacking department as they prepare to part ways with Dusan Vlahovic during this transfer window. Bringing in David before finalising any sale of Vlahovic underlines the club’s intent to act decisively and avoid unnecessary gaps in the squad. ............ Juventus have finalised the agreement and believe David will bring much-needed firepower to Turin. His goal-scoring record in France has drawn attention from several clubs, but the Bianconeri have moved quickly to ensure they win the race for his signature. ............ David’s arrival could affect the futures of both Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani. While Muani has been in good form and may remain at the club, David’s presence creates direct competition for the central striker role. If he adapts quickly, he could emerge as the first-choice forward in Turin. For Vlahovic, the message appears clear. Juventus are signalling that his place in the squad is no longer guaranteed. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/opinion-what-does-signing-jonathan-david-mean-for-juventus/

Juventus set date and contract length for David signing Reports in Italy confirm that Canada international Jonathan David will be in Italy to complete his medical with Juventus by the end of the working week after finally coming to an agreement on personal terms with the Bianconeri. ............ The 25-year-old, who Juventus have been monitoring since 2023, is expected to put pen to paper on a five-year contract running until the summer of 2030, which will earn him €6m per season plus up to €1m-€2m in bonuses per season. ............ While the deal is described as a ‘free transfer’, it is understood that David’s agents and representatives were seeking in excess of €10m in auxiliary fees and signing bonuses. David is expected to be in Turin on Friday to complete his medical and the final formalities of his move to the Allianz Stadium. ............ The medical test is expected to take place in the morning, making it possible for an official announcement to arrive over the weekend. ............ .

Here we go! Juventus secures agreement to sign coveted free agent Juventus have reached a verbal agreement to sign Canadian striker Jonathan David as they continue to reshape their attack ahead of the new season. The Bianconeri have concluded several rounds of negotiations with the player’s entourage and are now close to completing and announcing the move. David, who recently became a free agent after deciding not to renew his contract with Lille, has been one of the most consistent forwards in European football over the past few seasons. ............ The decision to pursue David aligns with broader changes expected in the Juventus attack. With Dusan Vlahovic widely tipped for a summer exit and no final agreement yet in place for Randal Kolo Muani, the club are working quickly to secure reinforcements. ............ The signing of David would mark a clear step forward in Juventus’ long-term planning. The Canadian international offers pace, intelligence, and a proven ability to score goals across multiple competitions. His arrival would not only fill a potential gap left by Vlahovic’s departure but could also serve as the foundation of a revamped forward line under Igor Tudor. Despite their ongoing interest in Victor Osimhen, the Bianconeri regard David as a player they could not afford to lose to another club. His form over the last few seasons made him a priority target once he became available. ............ Once finalised, the deal will be seen as a key component of Juventus’ summer activity and a potential turning point in their efforts to construct a dynamic and effective attacking unit. .

Now the three parties involved have all reached an agreement, so David will join Juventus on a free transfer. ............

Juventus close to reaching agreement with David Juventus resumed talks with Jonathan David’s agent today and the Bianconeri are close to reaching an agreement with the Canada international. ............ The Bianconeri had already reached last week a verbal agreement with the 25-year-old over a €6m-a-year deal plus add-ons. The Serie A giants, however, are yet to reach a complete agreement with the player’s entourage over agent fees. ............ Negotiations between Juventus and the player’s agents continued on Tuesday, July 1, with the Serie A giants making considerable progress.

David reaches agreement with Juventus and pushes for transfer Multiple sources in Italy claim that Canada international Jonathan David has reached a verbal agreement with Juventus over a €6m-a-year contract plus add-ons and is pushing for his agents to shake hands with the Bianconeri. ............ David is under contract with Lille until the end of the current month, so he’s available as a free agent, and the Serie A giants don’t have to negotiate with his club. ............ Juventus, however, must reach an agreement with the striker’s entourage over agent fees, which is why the deal has not been completed yet. ............ David is pushing to move to Juventus and is urging his representatives to lower their demands to finalise the deal as soon as possible. .

Juventus in pole position to sign one of the most sought-after free agents Juventus suddenly find themselves leading the race for Jonathan David, especially with other destinations gradually fading. The 25-year-old spent the last five years of his career at LOSC Lille, scoring 109 goals and providing 30 assists in 232 appearances across all competitions. ............ Juventus are currently in pole position for David, thanks to the work conducted by their recently departed Football Director, Cristiano Giuntoli. ............ Therefore, Juventus have been provided with a golden opportunity to snatch David’s services, but he certainly won’t come cheap. The Canada international is expecting a salary in the region of €6 million, while the operation would cost €20-25 million between agent commissions, intermediary fees and the player’s sign-on bonus. .

Di Marzio confirms Juventus have entered the race for sought-after free agent Juventus have reportedly joined the fray for Jonathan David who will be one of the most coveted free agents of the summer transfer market. ............ At the age of 25, the Brooklyn native has decided that this is the time to embark on a new career chapter, especially with a host of top European clubs reportedly vying for his favour. ............ Nevertheless, the battle for the striker’s services had long begun, and Napoli were identified as one of the first clubs to make a concrete attempt to land Canada’s all-time top goal-scorer. But according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus have swiftly followed suit, making contact with David’s entourage to learn the cost of the operation. The Bianconeri could part ways with Dusan Vlahovic in the coming months to avoid losing his services for free a year later, while Randal Kolo Muani’s loan stint will expire at the end of the season. ............ However, despite being labelled as a free agent, the Canadian certainly won’t come cheap. A report had already estimated the cost of the operation at circa €34 million in the first season. This sum includes the player’s salary, sign-on fee and his agents’ commissions. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/di-marzio-juventus-enter-race-jonathan-david/

The top free agents Juventus should be targeting Juventus could have the opportunity to sign some excellent players on the free market at the end of this season. Below is a list of the best summer free agents the club could target. Jonathan David With uncertainty surrounding the future of Dusan Vlahovic and Kolo Muani possibly returning to PSG, Jonathan David could be the solution to bring goals to Juventus next season. The Canadian striker has been in impressive form and could offer the firepower the club needs moving forward. Leroy Sané Leroy Sané could leave Bayern Munich at the end of this season, and securing his signature would be a smart move for Juventus. ............ Jonathan TahBayer Leverkusen could have sold Jonathan Tah for a substantial fee last summer, but it now looks like he will leave as a free agent. ............ Thomas ParteyArsenal is seemingly heading towards replacing Thomas Partey, who has battled fitness issues in the past but is now back to his best. ............ Virgil van DijkLiverpool seems prepared for an overhaul that could affect Virgil van Dijk, and Juventus should be ready to take advantage of the situation. The Dutch defender is one of the best in the world, and offering him a contract would be a huge coup for Juve. Van Dijk would bring leadership and quality to Juventus’ defence. ............ Angel GomesAngel Gomes has been one of the continent’s finest creative players and could thrive in Juventus’ setup. His flair and technical ability would add a new dimension to the club’s midfield, providing the kind of creativity that Juventus have sometimes lacked. ............ .

Beyond finances, Juventus cannot sign Jonathan David in January Juventus has identified Jonathan David as a top transfer target, recognising the Canadian striker’s prolific form for Lille in recent weeks. David, who has been a mainstay in Lille’s attack since joining the club in 2020, is reportedly set to become a free agent next summer, as he appears unlikely to renew his contract with the French side. This has sparked a high level of interest from European clubs, as acquiring such an in-form, young talent without a transfer fee represents a rare opportunity. Juventus is eager to sign David as early as the January transfer window to avoid fierce competition from other clubs in the summer. ............ However, the Bianconeri are facing a unique obstacle in their pursuit: the club has exhausted its allocation of non-EU player slots, which complicates David’s potential integration into their squad due to his Canadian citizenship. One solution Juventus is considering is signing David in January and immediately loaning him back to Lille for the remainder of the season. This strategy would ensure that Juventus wins the race for his signature while providing time to address the non-EU player slot issue. ............ . This approach is not uncommon in football transfers, particularly when logistical or regulatory issues prevent an immediate integration of a new signing. In recent years, Juventus has used similar strategies to secure top talent while managing squad restrictions. Given David’s versatility, technical skill, and goal-scoring ability, he is widely regarded as a player with the potential to make a significant impact at a top European club. ............ .

Why Juventus could be priced out for Ligue 1 striker Lille forward Jonathan David is widely expected to seal a free transfer in the summer once his contract with the Ligue 1 expires, and yet, Juventus could still it difficult to compete for his signature from a financial perspective. The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the deadliest and most consistent goalscorers in the French top flight over the past few years, so it’s past time he makes a move to a more prestigious club. ............ The Canada international is reportedly gunning for a net salary of 6 million euros per year, in addition to a signing-on fee worth 10 million euros. ............ The Bianconeri have been heavily linked with the Lille striker in recent months. Some consider him the right profile to join Dusan Vlahovic in a move that would strengthen the club’s meager attacking department, while others believe the Canadian would be the right profile to replace the Serbian who has yet to renew his Juventus contract (expiring in June 2026). ............ This season, the Brooklyn native has netted 12 goals in 17 appearances across all competitions, consolidating his role as Lille’s main talisman. .

Juventus make first contact with the entourage of Ligue 1 bomber Juventus have reportedly made the first concrete move in their attempts to secure an agreement with Lille striker Jonathan David. The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the deadliest bombers in Ligue 1 since his arrival in France back in 2020. ............ The Canadian has refused all renewal offers, as he seems intent on pursuing bigger career objectives. This situation has alerted several top clubs around Europe, including Juventus who might need a new striker with Dusan Vlahovic failing to deliver on a consistent basis. ............ The club’s Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli has already made contact first with the player’s entourage. The Bianconeri would like to place themselves ahead of the competition from the very start, as they reportedly consider David one of their main objectives for next season. ............ The Brooklyn native has often been deployed as a centre-forward, but he can also feature as a second striker or an attacking midfielder when required.

McKennie joins six other Juventus players on the club’s transfer list Juventus have reportedly added Weston McKennie to the list of players who are available on the market this summer. ............ The 26-year-old’s spell with the Bianconeri has been a true rollercoaster, as he found himself on the outs on a couple of occasions, before being reinstated in the squad, and it even included a brief loan stint at Leeds United. But we may have already seen the last of the versatile midfielder in a Juventus jersey. As the source explains, McKennie has been expected to pen a new deal for several months. But while Federico Gatti is all set to finalise his contract extension in the coming days, the Texan’s situation looks drastically different, as his supposed agreement with the club has apparently gone up in smoke. ............ The transfer list also includes his friend and compatriot Timothy Weah who resisted a move to Nottingham Forest, but could end up returning to France through the gates of Marseille. Samuel Mbangula is another player on the fringes of Igor Tudor’s project, while the club will be desperate to offload Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz. Moreover, Lloyd Kelly has failed to impress in his first few months in Turin, so he’s available to leave for the right offer, and the same applies to Nicolas Gonzalez. .

Juventus, Olympique Marseille in talks over potential Tim Weah deal It’s already been an eventful summer for Juventus winger Timothy Weah, and it doesn’t look like that might slow down any time soon as the rumor mill continues to swirl regarding his future in Turin. ............ Juventus and Olympique Marseille are in talks over a possible move for the 25-year-old Weah. It wasn’t even two weeks ago that Weah rejected a move to Premier League Nottingham Forest, which would have had him be one half of a double signing with fellow winger Samuel Mbangula. But once Weah didn’t accept personal terms with Forest, a new suitor was needed if Juve were to sell him — and looks like Marseille might prove to be just that. The reported price it might take for OM to sign Weah is that same that Juventus and Nottingham Forest had agreed to last month: €15 million. There’s been no word on how advanced the negotiations are, but Juve and Marseille are talking, according to multiple reports that have come out in the last couple of days. ............ As part of their report, L’Equipe said that Juventus have inquired about Marseille center back Leonardo Balerdi, who is reportedly a favorite of Igor Tudor. The two worked together during Tudor’s time as Marseille manager during the 2022-23 season. However, Marseille don’t want to part with the 26-year-old Argentine and that he is not connected to any potential deal for Weah. .

David: ‘Very excited by Juventus move, I love to score goals’ New Juventus signing Jonathan David assures he always saw them as ‘one of the top 10 biggest clubs in the world’ and he is ‘very excited’ to start his Serie A career. ............ “Growing up as a kid, I always looked up to a club like Juventus and thought, this is probably one of the top 10 biggest clubs in the world,” David told the official Bianconeri website. “So for me to be sitting here today is an honour.” ............ “As a player I love to score, I love to be in the game and find ways to combine, to get my teammates involved. My biggest strength is just finding space and being in the right place at the right time.” ............ “I’m very excited. Every step of the way is always a challenge, so coming to Serie A is also a challenge to adapt to the league, adapt to my teammates, and to be as successful as possible.” David is also the first ever Canadian to play for Juventus, although not the first to represent his country in Serie A. “It feels good. I am trying to pave the way for other Canadians who have the talent to one day do the same things I am doing now.” ............ “I hope we have a great season and to do everything to win titles here.” .

Official: Jonathan David joins Juventus with 5-year contract Jonathan David has officially signed a five-year contract with Juventus after passing his medical, the Canada international arriving as a free agent. According to reports, his contract is worth €6m per season plus bonuses up to €2m. He flew in this morning and spent all day undergoing medical tests before putting pen to paper. ............ The 25-year-old had made the move from KAA Gent to Lille in 2020 for €27m, but then allowed his contract to run down on June 30. Although he is a free agent, this was by no means a cost-free transfer, because there were huge sums for the commission of his representatives. The official figure stated by Juventus is €12.5m, payable over three years. ............ Last season, David found the net 25 times with 12 assists in 49 competitive games for LOSC between Ligue 1, the Champions League and Coupe de France. .

Jadon Sancho to push underwhelming Juventus star out of Turin Juventus winger Nico Gonzalez is facing an uncertain future, especially amidst the rumoured arrival of Jadon Sancho. The Bianconeri have identified the Manchester United outcast as one of their main targets this summer. They have been in active talks to sign the 25-year-old in recent days. ............ In recent days, it has been suggested that Juventus turned to the London native after failing to secure an agreement with Porto for Francisco Conceicao. Nevertheless, the Serie A giants are still pushing to sign the 22-year-old Portuguese international. Therefore, Sancho’s arrival wouldn’t close the door on keeping Conceicao. Instead, Gonzalez could be the sacrificial lamb. ............ The 27-year-old failed to replicate the mesmerising displays he consistently delivered during his time in Florence, only producing flashes of brilliance throughout his first campaign at the Allianz Stadium. Therefore, Gonzalez is facing an uncertain future, and that Juventus would certainly consider a sale if they were to receive suitable offers. ............ .

Juventus offer Manchester United swap deal to unlock Sancho move Reports from Italy claim that Juventus are open to sending former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz to Manchester United, in hopes it will help them get a deal for Jadon Sancho over the line. ............ The reports suggest that alternatively to a player swap, the Old Lady are willing to cough up €25 million plus bonuses for the English winger, who spent last season on loan with Chelsea. ............ The fee is not the only hurdle, however, with Sancho’s reported wage demand of €8 million per season above the €6-7 million that the Bianconeri wish to offer (putting him on a par with new signing Jonathan David). ............ .

Juventus make U-turn on Daniele Rugani after his display against Real Madrid Juventus have reportedly changed their plans for Daniele Rugani who has recently returned to the club following a loan spell at Ajax. The 30-year-old has been associated with the Bianconeri since 2012 when he was poached from Empoli. ............ Last summer, Rugani was deemed surplus to requirements on the orders of Thiago Motta, so he was sent to Ajax on a one-year loan deal, before rejoining Igor Tudor’s squad for the FIFA Club World Cup. The Italian defender was an unused substitute in the three group-stage fixtures, but the manager resorted to his services in the Round of 16 clash against Real Madrid. Although the Bianconeri were defeated by one goal to nil, Rugani was identified as one of Juve’s best performers on the day. ............ Damien Comolli and company were initially planning to offload the centre-back whose contract will expire in 12 months. However, they now believe he could be useful for the cause. After all, Gleison Bremer still has some time to regain his full powers after a long layoff, while Nicolo Savona might be unavailable at the start of the season due to his recent injury. Moreover, Lloyd Kelly hasn’t fully impressed since his arrival in January. ............ .

Vlahovic refused to join Napoli in exchange for Osimhen Juventus are still determined to find a way to bring in Victor Osimhen, but Dusan Vlahovic has reportedly disrupted their latest plan. ............ Many believe that this is due to the 26-year-old’s hefty salary and Aurelio De Laurentiis’ asking price of €75 million (which is the value of the player’s release clause). Nevertheless, Juventus are looking to play their cards, even though they can’t activate the player’s release clause which is only valid for clubs outside Italy. ............ The Bianconeri offered Napoli the services of Vlahovic as part of the package to sign Osimhen. Damien Comolli and Co. were hoping to convince their southern rivals by offering them a ready-made replacement for their exiled striker. But as is often the case with swap deals, the negotiations never truly took off the ground. The source claims that Vlahovic utterly rejected the destination. ............ In recent days, it has also been claimed that Juventus are aiming to rescind the player’s contract by offering severance pay, as they are determined to take the 25-year-old off their books one way or the other. .
