Atlético de Madrid signs Jonathan David from Juventus on loan
Summary

Atlético de Madrid and Juventus reached an agreement on Monday for the loan of forward Jonathan David. The deal includes a non-obligatory option to purchase the Canada international for 25 million euros. Juventus will cover a significant portion of the 26-year-old player's 11 million euro gross salary. This acquisition serves as a move by Atlético to bolster its attack with a technical forward capable of playing alongside Julián Alvarez. David joined Juventus last summer following his time at Lille but struggled to find consistency in Italy, tallying eight goals in 46 appearances. His arrival at the Madrid club follows unsuccessful efforts to move Josema Giménez and Thomas Lemar, which restricted the club's financial flexibility during the current market window.
