Juventus are fast-tracking efforts to sign Jonathan David, with Corriere dello Sport reporting the Italian club is preparing major sales. The Serie A side plans to offload Nico Gonzalez and Douglas Luiz to raise the funds needed to secure the Canadian striker.
Manchester United remain interested but risk losing out, as Juventus have already agreed personal terms with David and want to close the deal quickly.
Juventus’ urgency comes amid unresolved issues with Dusan Vlahovic. The striker has yet to agree on a contract extension and struggles to fit into the new tactical setup. His current deal could cost Juventus €40 million next season, even if he plays a minor role.

David’s transfer could push Juve’s offensive budget to €75 million next season, considering his salary, bonuses, and agent fees. The Canadian wants a €12 million commission for his representatives, a €10 million signing bonus, and a €13 million gross yearly salary.
David is eager to join now and doesn’t want delays. Juventus aim to finalise sales in time to beat rivals like Manchester United, who may hesitate over the financial package.
Unless United act soon, they risk losing another target to a club showing more urgency, despite operating within tight financial constraints.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are making bold moves, balancing ambition with tough financial decisions in pursuit of their new No. 9.
