Jonathan David, a 26-year-old forward from Juventus Turin, has given the green light to a possible transfer to Atletico Madrid in the final stretch of the market. The red and white club has already submitted a proposal for a loan with an option to buy, although Juventus conditions his departure on finding a replacement first.

The Canadian is now one of the main candidates for Diego Pablo Simeone to boost his attack. Atletico is looking to sign a striker before the market closes, and David sees the chance to compete in LaLiga with good eyes after a challenging first season in Italy.

Jonathan David accepts Atletico Madrid's offer

The deal has progressed in the last hours. According to the information shared by Fabrizio Romano, Juventus Turin has received an official offer from Atletico Madrid to secure Jonathan David's loan, including an option to buy the player later on. The financial terms of that potential acquisition have not been disclosed yet.

David, who has a contract for four more seasons, is ready to switch clubs. His stance represents progress for a negotiation that still needs to overcome the main obstacle posed from Turin: Juventus wants to ensure the arrival of another forward before authorizing the deal.

The striker ended his first season with the Italian team with 8 goals and 5 assists in 46 matches. His performance did not firmly establish him as an irreplaceable piece, and Juventus has been exploring ways to reorganize its attack for weeks before the transfer window closes.

Juventus Turin needs a replacement before releasing David

Juventus Turin's priority now is to secure an attacking addition. Joshua Zirkzee is among the strikers linked to the Italian club, but the Dutch player also has other possibilities in Serie A. This search directly affects the departure of Jonathan David.

There is also a disagreement about the deal structure. Atletico aims to mitigate the risk with a loan with an option to buy, while the Italian entity has been exploring market solutions to definitively offload the striker and his wages. The situation recalls the issue that the Madrid club faced with Nicolas Jackson, eventually sold to Aston Villa for £65 million.

Juventus has also assessed Alexander Sorloth, Atletico's striker, although the red and whites have little room to part ways with the Norwegian without first completing their own offensive planning. The player had previously been on the Italian club's radar.

LaLiga, an option Jonathan David had previously considered

The interest is not new. Atletico had already assessed David when he ended his contract with Lille, before the Canadian chose to continue his career in Italy. Now, with a concrete opportunity on the table, the forward is open to landing in LaLiga.

The next hours will be defined by Juventus's response and, especially, its ability to bring in another attacker. If the Italian club finds a replacement and both teams narrow down the financial agreement, Jonathan David will have a clear path to become one of Atletico's last additions this transfer window.
