After a long series which lasted several months, Jonathan David finally left LOSC last summer to join Juventus, for a five-season contract. The Old Lady was also the only one to respond favorably to the salary demands of the player and his entourage, he who was announced throughout Europe even though he was free from any contract after his last season in Ligue 1. But since his arrival at Juve, the 25-year-old Canadian clearly does not meet expectations.
In 12 matches played, he has scored only one goal against Parma, on August 24. But beyond the statistics, his contribution on the field is greatly criticized by the Italian press and the supporters. “Since his first goal against Parma on August 24, David has had no impact: he is now a mixture of clumsiness and discouragement. And the Bianconeri attack suffered. The discontent of Juventus supporters grows on social networks »explained Sportmediaset.
English clubs already ready to enlist him
The Canadian also lost his starting place and was not fielded during the clash against Real Madrid, but also during the last two Championship matches and therefore for the first of Luciano Spalletti on his bench. The new Italian technician seems to trust Dušan Vlahović more and questions the future of the ex-Lille player. Because according to information from the Gazzetta dello SportJonathan David is no longer considered the first starter in the hierarchy of attackers, which could result in a departure.
Indeed, it is possible that the 25-year-old striker will leave Juventus in January, just a few months after his arrival. The same Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and Chelsea, could be interested in recovering him according to the pink newspaper. Especially since Spalletti would like to quickly extend Dušan Vlahović: “He knows what it means to play for Juventus, and he wants to continue despite the fact that his contract with the club only runs until next June. In fact, he would be happy to stay here longer.”explained the new Bianconero manager. Before hosting Sporting this Tuesday evening (9 p.m.), for a match that is already important for qualification in the knockout phase, Juventus already seems to no longer trust the ex-Lille player, who was piling up the goals in Ligue 1.
