Juventus is on the hunt for a new striker. Viktor Gyokeres is one option, but Jonathan David is gaining traction. The Canadian player scored 25 goals last season for Lille. He’s now a free agent after his contract ended with the French club.
Gazzetta dello Sport says David is a top alternative to strengthen Juventus’ offense. Damien Comolli, the team’s sports director, is busy with World Cup commitments and market negotiations. After the Wydad game, Comolli headed back to Italy to talk to David’s representatives. They want to know if the player’s high salary demands can be revised.
Other players are also on Juventus’ wishlist. Victor Osimhen is a favorite of coach Igor Tudor. Randal Kolo Muani, Nicolas Jackson, Mateo Retegui, and Santiago Castro are also possibilities. But getting Jonathan David for free could be a big financial win for the team.
Potential Targets
- Jonathan David
- Viktor Gyokeres
- Victor Osimhen
- Randal Kolo Muani
- Nicolas Jackson
- Mateo Retegui
- Santiago Castro
Comolli’s talks with David’s team will be crucial. Juventus needs to decide if the player’s salary demands are too high. The team wants to strengthen its offense without breaking the bank. David’s free agency status makes him an attractive option.
The transfer market is heating up. Juventus is working hard to find the right player. With several options on the table, the team has tough decisions to make. One thing is certain: Juventus needs a new striker to compete at the top level.
