Atletico Madrid renew talks with Juventus over Jonathan David transfer

Atletico Madrid have reopened discussions with Juventus about the possible signing of Canada striker Jonathan David during the current summer transfer window, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

Fresh contact was made between the two clubs on Sunday to discuss David’s future, with Atletico continuing to assess the possibility of bringing the forward to the Spanish club.

Further developments are expected in the coming hours as Juventus and Atletico consider whether their latest exchanges can lead to an agreement over a transfer. No deal has been confirmed, but the renewed communication underlines Atletico’s interest in David.

The 25-year-old joined Juventus at the start of last season after leaving Lille on a free transfer. Since moving to the Italian club, he has made 47 appearances, scoring eight goals and providing five assists.

David was involved in Juventus’ league victory over Parma on Saturday. He started the match before being replaced in the 57th minute, with Juventus scoring both of their goals after his departure from the field.

The Canadian international’s situation is now being monitored by Atletico, who have returned to discussions with Juventus as they explore the possibility of securing his services. The next stage of the talks will determine whether the renewed contact develops into a formal agreement between the clubs.

For Juventus, the negotiations concern a player who has already featured regularly since arriving from Lille. David’s eight goals and five assists have come across his 47 appearances for the club, while his latest start against Parma came as the Italian side continued their league campaign.

Atletico’s interest has prompted the latest discussions, with both clubs expected to clarify their positions in the near future. The focus will now be on whether the two sides can bridge any gap in their talks and reach an agreement for David to move to Spain.

Di Marzio reported that the conversations took place on Sunday, shortly after David had started Juventus’ match against Parma. The striker’s substitution came in the 57th minute, before his team scored twice, and attention has now shifted to whether his Juventus career will continue or whether Atletico can complete a deal during the summer window.
