Jonathan David Arrives in Italy to Complete Juventus Move

Canadian striker Jonathan David has arrived in Italy and is set to join Juventus with a contract lasting until June 2030. This is a key signing for the Bianconeri as they prepare for the new Serie A season.

According to a previous report, Juventus will sign Jonathan David to a long-term contract that runs until June 2030.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Juventus has finalized a deal to sign Jonathan David after his contract with Lille ended. The 25-year-old will join on a multi-year contract, reportedly earning €6 million a season, with up to €2m in potential bonuses. David joins Juventus after an impressive stint in France, where he scored 19 goals and provided 4 assists in 38 appearances during the 2024-25 season.

According to a previous report, Jonathan David scored 19 goals and had 4 assists for Lille in the 2024/25 season.

His long-anticipated arrival in Italy ends Juventus’ hunt for a new forward, becoming their first addition of the 2025-26 season. A new striker is needed at Vinovo amid the expected departures of forwards Dušan Vlahović and Arkadiusz Milik, with the Canadian international joining to fill the void.

WHY THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR JUVENTUS

David is a statement signing for Juventus, who are aiming to bounce back next season after a mixed campaign. The team finished fourth in Serie A last term, 14 points adrift of champions Napoli, before being eliminated from the Club World Cup at the quarter-final stage by Real Madrid.

According to a previous report, Juventus finished fourth in Serie A last season.

Juventus’ signings have been a mixed bag since their last league win in 2021, particularly in attack. David has been a consistent performer in Ligue 1, which attracted interest from many top European clubs. However, Juventus won the race for his signature to pave over a likely exit for captain Vlahović. They will hope David’s consistent contributions will help challenge for silverware once more.

According to a previous report, Juventus are in contention on all fronts this season under coach Ivan Tudor.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR JUVENTUS AND DAVID?

David will have his medical tests in Turin before joining his new team-mates in training. Juventus’ new Serie A challenge begins in earnest later this week, and they have a huge game first up, facing Parma on the opening day.

According to a previous report, Jonathan David is expected to join Juventus after his medical on Friday.

Parma finished the 2024-25 campaign in the middle of the table, making the opening game of the new season in Florence a key early battle for the upper hand in the top-four race.
