The transfer windows follow one another and are not the same for Jonathan David. In recent years, the Canadian has been the player that several clubs are chasing. But a year ago, it was Juventus who managed to attract him to Piedmont after the end of his adventure at LOSC. The striker wanted to take on a new challenge in a club of a higher caliber, without offending the Mastiffs. So he crossed the Alps. But his first year in Italy didn’t go as he hoped. Neither does his club. Used 46 times in all competitions, he provided 5 assists and scored 8 goals.

In addition to these figures, Iceman did not really succeed in finding his place on the pitch, where he struggled to bring his qualities, but also in the locker room, where he isolated himself for a time according to the Italian press. The arrival of Luciano Spalletti was a little boost. But it was not enough. Like last winter, his name was mentioned in the media in the transfer section. The Canadian finally stayed in January. This summer, he is not yet guaranteed to still be a Juve player after the transfer window closes.

Juve shows David the exit

Indeed, the Old Lady placed her on the list of transferable players with Loïs Openda, who has already joined Lyon in the form of a loan. The Canadian is, however, ready to fight to find a place. Except that he no longer fits into the plans of the coach and management who are pushing him towards the exit door. And if the message wasn’t clear enough, it is now. Juventus has recruited Jeff Ekhator and Randal Kolo Muani, two competitors for his position. This Thursday, the Bianconeri are close to an agreement with Manchester United for Joshua Zirkzee according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Here again, his arrival is not a good signal for Jo David, who was replaced after 30 minutes of play yesterday during the friendly against Chelsea. This was intended for the globalists. But for the GoSit’s a foretaste of what awaits the former LOSC player, totally downgraded. The publication on pink paper specifies that Juve wants to convince the Canadian, judged “too nice” on the ground and not enough killer not Spalletti. The Canadian is now in the shoes of the player chased by his club and who must find a new base as quickly as possible or risk losing the bench. Which is not a solution either for the 26-year-old striker, nor for Juve who pay him a salary of €6 million per year.
