Juventus Transfer Market: Jonathan David’s Latest Move Is Making the Bianconeri Nervous

After a very disappointing season with just 8 goals in 46 appearances, Juventus has decided to let Jonathan David go to make room for a new striker, but the Canadian’s transfer is proving very difficult due to the conditions imposed by the former Lille player and his entourage.

David has expressed his willingness to move on but will only accept offers from major clubs competing in the Champions League, and so far, no top club has made a move for him. The only inquiry that meets the Canadian’s criteria is the one from Atlético Madrid, but the deal hinges on the departure of Julian Álvarez, who is wanted by Barcelona but is being held back by the Colchoneros.

According to reports in *La Gazzetta dello Sport*, Jonathan David’s entourage is also considering asking Juventus for a substantial severance package to facilitate the player’s departure. This possibility has clearly unnerved Juventus executives and is highly unlikely to be accepted by Giovanni Carnevali and his colleagues.

Meanwhile, one of the players the Old Lady had been eyeing to replace David is about to slip away: Joshua Zirkzee has caught the attention of Fiorentina, who would like to sign him to replace Moise Kean, who is set to leave for Como. The Dutchman, formerly of Bologna, is open to a return to Serie A, and his representatives are in talks with the Florentine club.

On the other hand, the Alexander Sørloth option is gaining traction: the Norwegian giant is considered expendable at Atlético Madrid, and Juventus could put together a trade involving Jonathan David. Born in 1995, Sørloth possesses the qualities Spalletti is looking for and could be the ideal reinforcement for the Turin-based team.
