Juventus market, bomber has his suitcase in hand

The possibility of Juventus depriving itself of Jonathan David at the reopening of the market is back in the news, perhaps with a temporary formula: Luciano Spalletti is not making the former Lille man feel like a first choice, despite the huge investment made last summer by the Bianconeri club to secure a bomber that many Old Continent bigwigs liked and who is still considered a level element.

The numbers put up in Ligue 1 continue to be distant, and the Old Lady, despite being signed on a multi-year contract, could consider a sale of him, also depending on the future of Dusan Vlahovic and the performance of Lois Openda, who so far has not convinced as he did in Leipzig but who on Saturday, against Roma, was preferred to the Canadian and also scored the 2-0 goal, albeit from a position from which it was impossible to miss.

With the January market just around the corner, the Piedmontese management will be listening to any possible offers: it should also be considered that there is Roberto De Zerbi’s Olympique Marseille monitoring the situation and that Canada, as the organizing country (with the United States and Mexico), has obviously qualified by right for the 2026 World Cup (and could make its debut with Italy, making all the necessary precautions), to which David does not want to arrive after having played with little continuity.

The few minutes given by Spalletti to the North American in a challenge as important as the one with the Capitolini seem to have left their mark: David cannot be content with putting his foot on the field in the 82nd minute. “I’m happy because winning these games here are half feats, they are well on the pitch and have the pace that crushes you if you are not good at restarting and keeping the ball. In the first half they forced us to throw away a lot of running at the defensive end, when you throw away stuff like that you then lack oxygen for the restarts. We were timid, however, we were in the game and the team had its own solidity,” Spalletti’s words at the end of the march.
