Juventus is reportedly nearing the acquisition of Canadian striker Jonathan David from Lille. The Turin club is understood to have reached a preliminary understanding with the player`s representatives regarding his salary. Sources indicate a proposed net annual wage of 6 million euros, potentially boosted by an additional 2 million in performance and objective-based bonuses. Key aspects such as a signing bonus and agent commissions are still pending finalization.
The Lille forward, a consistent performer in Ligue 1 over recent seasons, had also attracted attention from Serie A rivals Inter and Napoli. However, both clubs have since decided to pursue alternative attacking targets, effectively clearing the path for Juventus, who are now considered to be in a strong position to complete the transfer.
David himself has reportedly expressed his desire to join the Bianconeri. He is seen as a potential leading candidate for Juventus` main striker position and could become a significant addition to the technical project being developed under the guidance of Igor Tudor.
