Paris FC is serious about signing Jonathan David this summer, and the move could provide Juventus with a solution for the Canadian striker, who has struggled since arriving in Turin.
David joined Juventus as a free agent a year ago, but he has found it difficult to show his best form and appears unsuited to the style of football Luciano Spalletti wants his team to play.
Juventus look for a solution for David
The manager wants the best players available for his system and has been working hard to improve the performances of those still in the squad. However, when the season begins, several players who returned for preseason training are expected to have left the club.
According to Sport Mediaset, Paris FC is the latest club showing strong interest in David and could help Juventus move on from the striker this summer. The report suggests that the French side could provide an exit route for the former Lille player.
David is not considered the type of striker Spalletti needs for his plans, and Juventus has already been discussing a possible return for Randal Kolo Muani from PSG.
Juventus prepare attacking changes
If Kolo Muani joins Juventus, as expected, he will become the club’s first-choice striker, and the Bianconeri are also looking to add another forward to replace David.
The Canadian forward also has interest from Turkiye, but his previous decision shows that he prefers to continue his career in one of Europe’s top five leagues if he leaves Juventus.
David rejected a more lucrative offer from Turkiye before choosing to join Juventus, which suggests that he is focused on competing at the highest level in European football. A departure this summer could therefore depend on finding a suitable opportunity that matches his ambitions.
For Juventus, moving David on would allow them to reshape their attack and bring in players who better suit Spalletti’s approach. The club will now hope that Paris FC can complete an agreement and help them continue rebuilding their squad.
