Jonathan David has not had the dream start in Turin. The Canadian striker arrived in the summer with high expectations, but so far has only managed to score one goal in seven games played.

His free transfer from Lille had generated excitement among the tifosi. During his last three seasons in France, David scored 77 goals in all competitions and was a key player in the "Dogues" project.

However, adapting to Serie A and the environment of Juventus has not been easy. The tactical differences, defensive pace, and club's demands have taken a toll on him at the start.

Jonathan David: expectations versus reality

Since his official presentation as a new bianconero player, David has been optimistic. "It's a great feeling to be part of a club like Juventus," he said in his early days in Turin.

However, doubts quickly arose. Despite his goal-scoring record in France, the club acknowledges that his adaptation has not been satisfactory yet.

One of the issues he faces is the lack of continuity in the starting eleven. Igor Tudor has rotated the forward line in search of effective formulas, leading David to alternate between the bench and the starting lineup.

Return to France? Olympique de Marseille's interest

In France, there is interest in the player's situation. Olympique de Marseille has been mentioned as one of the clubs interested in repatriating David if his time in Italy does not go well.

Marseille officials believe that David could shine again in Ligue 1, in a more familiar and offensive setting. However, this will only be possible if Juventus decides to part ways with him in the next transfer window.

For Olympique de Marseille, signing an attacker with experience in France and a proven profile would be a strategic move, although they will only act if David loses prominence in Turin.

Juventus at the crossroads: patience or early decision

Juventus must decide how much they support the Canadian's adaptation. They signed him for five years (until June 2030) with expectations of providing goals and offensive depth.

In recent weeks, Italian media have questioned his role amidst competition with other forwards in the squad. Some argue that his free transfer does not secure him an immediate starting position.

For Jonathan David, regaining confidence is crucial. He must adapt to Serie A's defensive style, find ways to contribute, and deliver in critical moments if he wants to remain a priority option.

After his successful spell at Lille, where his goal-scoring efficiency made him one of Europe's most sought-after forwards, he is now facing the most challenging period of his career.

If his performance does not improve, Juventus could consider selling him in the next summer transfer window. Olympique de Marseille and other French clubs would be ready for his return.

For Jonathan David, the challenge is clear: to prove that his talent was not just on paper but a real ability to make a difference in Turin. Only time will tell if he can become the figure Juventus was hoping for.
