Jonathan David Closer to Joining Atlético de Madrid
The Canadian, currently at Juventus, could arrive on loan with an option to buy and relaunch his career in LaLiga
The transfer market is in its decisive stage, and Atlético de Madrid is setting its sights on Jonathan David. According to the newspaper MARCA, the Canadian forward is the main option to strengthen the attack in the final hours of the transfer window. The negotiation is progressing under the loan modality, although the red-and-white team would retain a purchase option of 25 million euros. At 26 years old, David positions himself as the strongest alternative, displacing Nico Jackson, who until recently topped the priority list.
David's contractual situation
Currently, Jonathan David belongs to Juventus, with a contract valid until 2030. However, his time in Turin has not been as expected. He arrived on a free transfer just a year ago and, in the last season, scored 8 goals in 46 matches, numbers that did not quite convince the Italian management. His best version was seen in the 2024-25 season with Lille, where he was a key player and gained international recognition. That period in France established him as a top-tier forward, capable of making a difference in the opponent's area.
What Atlético is looking for
The arrival of the Canadian player would aim to elevate the level of a forward line that currently includes Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth, two significant names but who need support to maintain competitiveness in all competitions. The Atlético management is confident that David can regain the level he showed in France and become an immediate asset. The expectation is growing in Madrid and throughout the football world, Jonathan David is getting closer to donning the red and white, in what could be a key move for Atlético this season.
