Juventus Transfer Market: What a Opportunity—PSG Wants the Bianconeri’s Surplus Player

The transfer talks between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are heating up. For days now, the two clubs have been in negotiations over Zion Suzuki, who is now on the verge of joining the French and European champions. PSG is ready to finalize the purchase of the Japanese goalkeeper by paying 35 million euros to Parma: the goalkeeper could be loaned out for a year to the Turin-based club, which will make a decision in the coming hours.

But the two clubs are also involved in another deal: according to rumors reported by Corriere dello Sport, PSG has expressed strong interest in Jonathan David, one of the biggest disappointments of Juventus’s transfer window last season. The Canadian forward is a favorite of PSG’s sporting director, Luis Campos, who knows the player very well, having brought him to Lille himself.

The negotiations, also aided by prior contacts regarding Suzuki and the previous Kolo Muani deal, could heat up in the coming hours: PSG wants him as a replacement for Gonçalo Ramos, who moved to Milan, and the player’s transfer fee is certainly not out of reach for the Parisians. Juventus is willing to sell him for a fee between 25 and 30 million euros and has not ruled out the possibility of a loan with an option to buy.

David’s departure would free up significant resources that could be reinvested to bolster Luciano Spalletti’s attacking lineup: in recent hours, the possibility of signing Joshua Zirkzee has become more concrete, with Juventus ready to begin talks with Manchester United for a loan with an option to buy the Dutch forward. The Canadian, who arrived on a free transfer from Lille a year ago but has proved disappointing with just 7 goals in 39 official appearances, earns a net salary of 6 million euros per season, which is a burden on the club’s finances: his transfer would therefore represent a dual benefit—both financial and on the field—for the Old Lady.
