Jonathan David, a 26-year-old forward from Juventus Turin, is in talks to become the new signing for Atlético de Madrid as discussions have accelerated towards the last hours of the market. The red-and-white club is already negotiating with both the player's representatives and the Italian entity, studying the financial terms of the operation.

According to information from Fabrizio Romano, David is one of the three main options being considered by Atlético's sports management to incorporate a forward. The discussions remain open, and the agreement's format will be crucial in determining whether it can be finalized in the last days of the transfer window.

🚨🇨🇦 Juventus CEO Carnevali on Jonathan David: “In my view, all players can be up for sale in case of good proposals”.

“There are few days left in the transfer window, and many things could happen”.

Jonathan David Joins Atlético de Madrid List

Atlético de Madrid has progressed from the initial contacts made during this week. They are now not only requesting information about Jonathan David, but also engaging in discussions with his circle and directly with Juventus to understand the conditions of a possible transfer.

David is entering his second season in Turin after arriving as a free agent from Lille in July 2025. His contract with Juventus runs until June 30, 2030, making any potential exit subject to an agreement between clubs, despite the Italian side not paying a transfer fee for his signing.

His first season in Italy concluded with 46 official matches, 8 goals, and 5 assists. In Serie A, he participated in 35 games and scored 6 goals, following a last season at Lille where he recorded 25 goals and 12 assists in 49 matches.

The situation has evolved during this summer. Juventus Turin is willing to explore options for his departure, while the forward has expressed his intention in recent weeks to compete to regain prominence in the Italian team.

The Financial Terms Will Decide the Operation with Juventus

The main obstacle now lies in the agreement's structure. Atlético must assess if Juventus' demands align with their capabilities before formulating a proposal for Jonathan David, with only a few days remaining to finalize pending market operations.

The Canadian is not the sole option. David is on a list of three candidates to reinforce the attack, allowing the Madrid club to explore other avenues while negotiating with the Italian entity.

His name has also been linked this summer to other teams. Aston Villa inquired about a potential loan, and movements surrounding his future have been reported from Italy as well, although there is still no agreement to leave Turin.

Atlético's search comes at a time influenced by their forward line. Alexander Sorloth was on Juventus's agenda, while the Madrid team begins this LaLiga season with pending movements in their attack before the window closes.

The next hours will determine if discussions progress to a formal proposal. Atlético de Madrid is aware of Jonathan David's situation and continues the negotiation with Juventus, needing to find a solution satisfying all parties. If the financial terms align, the Canadian could become one of the last red-and-white moves before LaLiga's market closure.
