Juventus eyeing Lille’s forward as potential free transfer

Juventus is reportedly targeting Lille’s prolific striker, Jonathan David, as a potential free transfer opportunity. According to Corriere dello Sport, Lille currently values David at €50 million.

However, with his contract expiring at the end of the current season, he could be available on a free transfer, aside from agent fees.

David, who hails from Brooklyn, has an impressive record of 124 goals in 273 professional appearances.

His potential availability on a free transfer makes him a highly attractive option for Juventus. Before making a definitive move, Juventus plans to thoroughly evaluate David’s performance.

David will have a significant opportunity to showcase his abilities in an upcoming Champions League match against Juventus.

Coach Thiago Motta, who views David as a potential successor to Joshua Zirkzee, will be keen to see how he performs against Juventus’ strong defensive duo, Federico Gatti and Gleison Bremer.

This match will serve as a crucial test for David and could influence Juventus’ decision on whether to pursue him further.

If David impresses in this encounter, it is expected that Motta will recommend to Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, to move forward with the signing.
