Juventus have taken a lead in the game against Napoli and secured a player who was highly sought after by Antonio Conte.
Juventus and Napoli have been involved in one of the most intense battles in the Italian transfer market to secure Jonathan David. The Canadian attacker, who has just finished his stint at Lille, was free to negotiate his future, and his destination seems to be becoming increasingly clear. Although Antonio Conte had identified him as the offensive priority for his new project in southern Italy, Vecchia Signora reacted in time and has taken a decisive lead in the operation.

Jonathan David, very close to Juventus
David, who has established himself as one of the most consistent attackers in Ligue 1 in recent years, was on the radar of several major European clubs. His ability to move between the lines, his goalscoring flair and his tactical intelligence make him an attractive choice for any top club. Napoli was the first to get in touch, but Juventus’ intervention has been powerful, with a more solid sporting project and a financial offer that surpasses that of the competition.
The Canadian, who ended his contract after a brilliant spell in France, is now considering his next step with ambition. Juventus, under the leadership of Igor Tudor, aim to renew their attacking line and see David as a player who can take a leadership role from the start. With more attacking profiles on the way out, his arrival will bring freshness, dynamism and goals to a team that aims to reclaim its place at the top of both Serie A and Europe.
