Canadian striker Jonathan David is joining Juventus, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Romano reports the former Lille star has reached a verbal agreement with the club and is set to travel for medical steps and to complete the formal process.
TSN's Matthew Scianitti noted in May that, since the Ottawa-native helped Lille lift the Ligue 1 title in 2020-2021, many of Europe's marquee clubs -- like AC Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, Juventus, Inter Milan, Liverpool, and Manchester United -- have taken turns sharing headlines with Canada’s men’s all-time leading goal-scorer.
David moved to Lille from Belgian side Gent in a $46 million transfer, a record for a Canadian, in the summer of 2020.
He leaves Lille with 109 goals in 231 games.
