The Bianconeri had an agreement with the player for some time, but reaching terms with his representatives proved more challenging. Now, addressing the Vlahovic situation is the next priority.
Jonathan David marks the first acquisition of the Damien Comolli era at Juventus. The agreement for the Canadian forward was finalized during the Italian night, shortly after Juventus` match against Real Madrid in Miami. The final obstacle, agent commissions, was overcome, with the representatives ultimately agreeing to the player`s desire to join. David, who was a free agent after leaving Lille, is now set to officially become a Juventus player. While coach Tudor`s squad is scheduled to return from the United States tomorrow, preparations are already underway at the Continassa training ground for David`s arrival in Turin and his medical examinations, likely set for Friday.
Deal Details
David`s contract is reported to be worth 6 million euros annually plus 2 million in bonuses. Juventus had agreed terms with the player some time ago, but securing the final agreement with his representatives required more negotiation. Ultimately, the entourage yielded to the player`s strong desire to join. David`s arrival, following a season where he netted 25 goals and provided 12 assists in 49 appearances, doesn`t rule out another significant attacking reinforcement. However, Juventus must first create space, both technically and financially, which means addressing the futures of existing strikers, particularly Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik, neither of whom are currently part of the club`s plans.
