Canadian striker Jonathan David appears poised to join Juventus, according to multiple credible reports in Italy. Publications like Alfredo Pedulla, La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport, and Tuttosport all state that David has agreed verbally to a move.
The proposed contract would see him earn €6 million per season, along with performance-related bonuses.
David’ current contract with Lille expires at the end of June, making him available as a free agent. Juventus will not need to negotiate with the French club for a transfer fee.
Sources close to the player suggest David is strongly in favor of the move. He is reportedly encouraging his agents to accept reduced commission demands to speed up the transfer. Juventus, meanwhile, are also motivated to finalise the deal quickly to secure their attacking options before pre-season begins.
The 24-year-old forward has been on Juventus’ radar for several seasons due to his consistent performances in Ligue 1. His availability as a free agent makes him a highly appealing target in the current transfer market.

The reports noted last week that Juventus had already planned another round of negotiations with David’s representatives. If both parties reach a compromise soon, an official announcement could follow shortly after July 1.
