Juventus is already looking for a new number 9 on the market, with a view to next season. The Italian club noted the departure of Dusan Vlahovic, at the end of his contract at the end of the season, and coach Luciano Spalletti requested from his management an attacker with an imposing size, around whom Jonathan David could revolve. Jean-Philippe Mateta is one of the targets of the Old Lady, who has already contacted Crystal Palace. The French international, aged 28, is linked until 2027 with the London team.

According to Sports Mediasethe wishes to join Juventus and would have informed his managers that he would not extend his contract. From then on, the latter let Juve know that they could open the door, with why not an exchange with Jonathan David. Refused by the Turin club, which wants to keep the Canadian. The price of Mateta could be around €30 million. A price that Juve will not be able to pay before next summer.
