The figures of the deal and Jonathan David’s fit with Simeone

The Canadian international passed the medical examination at the High-Performance Sports Medicine Center Vithas - Invictum in the Arturo Soria University Hospital in Madrid before heading to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium. With his signature, Atletico de Madrid takes on more than half of David's salary to bolster Diego Simeone's attacking rotation alongside Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.

Born in New York in 2000, the player spent the last season at Juventus after joining as a free agent in 2025, scoring 42 goals for the Canadian national team —including three in the 2026 World Cup— and can play as a target man or second striker.

Jonathan David's journey from Ligue 1 to Serie A

David made his European football debut in 2018 with Gent in Belgium, where he scored 37 goals in 2 seasons. This led to his transfer to Lille for 30 million euros, spending 5 seasons at the French club, playing 232 games, scoring 109 goals, providing 31 assists, and winning the Ligue 1 title and the French Super Cup.

His consistent performances in the French top-flight earned him a move to Turin before his arrival in Spanish football. The striker joins the red and white team after rejecting loan offers from Napoli and Tottenham in the final hours of the summer transfer window.

The forward completed the necessary paperwork and will immediately join training sessions at Cerro del Espino. David will partake in his first group training on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, to be available for Atletico de Madrid's upcoming fixture in the national championship.
