Juventus finally finds a home for Jonathan David | OneFootball

Juventus have been keen to offload Jonathan David since the end of last season, as he has clearly not been considered the type of striker to thrive under Luciano Spalletti. The Bianconeri now appear close to achieving their objective, with the transfer window nearing its conclusion.

With only hours remaining before the summer transfer window closes, Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement to sign the striker from Juventus, leaving the Italian club needing to find a replacement.

The men at the Allianz Stadium have done their best to ensure the team is in good shape this summer, and that remains an ongoing task despite the season already having started. David’s future has become an important part of their plans as they look to reshape the squad.

David set to leave Juventus

David struggled last term and failed to perform better during pre-season, leading the men in black and white to lose confidence in his ability to improve and become good enough for their team.

The Canadian had been pushing to remain at the club and was expected to perform well after Juventus brought him into the squad, but he has failed to meet those expectations. His departure now appears increasingly likely as Atletico push to complete the move.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Atletico have now secured an agreement to add David to their squad in this window, in a late move that has delighted Juve.

Juventus search for replacement

The agreement leaves Juventus with little time to find another striker before the transfer window closes. The Bianconeri are now pushing to add a replacement to their squad over the next few hours as they prepare for David’s departure.

The club will be hoping to complete the process quickly, particularly with the season already underway. Losing David without bringing in another forward could leave the squad short of options in attack.

For David, the move to Atletico represents an opportunity to begin a new chapter after a difficult spell at Juventus. The Bianconeri, meanwhile, appear ready to move forward without the Canadian and are focused on securing another striker before the window closes.

With the deadline approaching, Juventus must now act quickly if they are to replace David and maintain the balance of their squad. The agreement with Atletico Madrid means the striker’s departure is increasingly close to becoming a reality.
