Jonathan David Set for Juventus Move as Medical Booked

Juventus are close to signing Canadian striker Jonathan David. The club has scheduled his medical for Friday. David is expected to join Juventus as a free agent after an impressive time at Lille.

According to a previous report, Juventus are about to sign Canadian striker Jonathan David.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Jonathan David left Lille when his contract ended recently. He is now in Turin and will have medical tests on Friday. After his deal with Lille ended on June 30, Juventus and David quickly made a verbal agreement. Although several top European clubs like Barcelona and PSG were interested, David chose Juventus because of their plans and vision.

A previous report confirmed that Jonathan David has ended his contract with Lille and will join Juventus.

He will sign a long-term contract once he passes his medical examination, and an official announcement is expected soon. This move comes at an important time as Juventus want to refresh their attack, especially with questions over Dusan Vlahovic’s future.

WHY JUVENTUS WANTED DAVID

Jonathan David, 25, is known as one of Europe’s most reliable forwards. Last season, he scored 19 goals and had 4 assists in Ligue 1, finishing among the top scorers. During his four seasons at Lille, he scored 109 goals and provided 30 assists in 232 matches, averaging a goal or assist every two games. Juventus are going through changes in their attack and may see David as a replacement for Vlahovic, who might leave this summer.

According to a previous report, Jonathan David scored 24 goals and created six assists in Ligue 1 last season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR JUVENTUS?

Juventus finished fourth in Serie A last season and now want a stronger title challenge this year. Their next match is against Parma in the opening weekend of the new Serie A season. Parma finished last year in the middle of the season, making it an important early test. If David passes his medical, he could play soon and help strengthen the attack, especially if Vlahovic departs. Juventus are also watching Randal Kolo Muani’s situation, but David’s arrival is seen as a significant step in building the squad for the new season.
