Juventus considers Nick Woltemade and Joshua Zirkzee as replacements for Jonathan David

Juventus is exploring potential striker options as the club negotiates a loan move for Jonathan David to Atlético Madrid. According to reports from Matteo Moretto and Gianluca Di Marzio, the Serie A club has identified Newcastle forward Nick Woltemade and Manchester United attacker Joshua Zirkzee as candidates to fill the roster spot. Juventus intends to pursue either player on a loan deal with an option to buy due to current budgetary constraints. Woltemade offers a 6-foot-6 physical presence, while Zirkzee brings previous experience within the Italian league from his time with Bologna. Club officials view these additions as necessary components to facilitate the departure of David before the summer transfer window closes. Finalizing a replacement remains the primary requirement for the club to proceed with the deal for the Canadian striker.
