Scouts representing Juventus attended Canada’s 2-1 friendly win over the USA to study Inter Milan linked Lille striker Jonathan David, SempreInter.com can confirm.
The Canada international striker has been linked with both Juventus as well as Inter Milan in recent weeks.
In recent weeks reports in Italy claim that Premier League club Aston Villa are also interested in the Canada international.
It was during the recent friendly match between the USA and Canada that Juventus scouts were present, SempreInter.com have confirmed.
A clash where Canada defeated the USA by 2-1. The winning goal scored by none other than Jonathan David.
That goal was Jonathan David’s 29th goal for Canada. Therefore, he equaled Cyle Larin’s record as joint all-time top goal-scorer for Canada.
However, it is only a matter of time before Jonathan David sets a new record. This as Brooklyn born Jonathan David is only 24 years old.
Jonathan David’s performance impressed Juventus scouts, SempreInter.com understands. However, as of now, Juventus have not yet decided whether or not to make an offer.
Rumours are rife in recent week’s surrounding the Lille striker. Especially as Jonathan David‘s current contract with the Ligue 1 side is set to expire at the end of June 2025.
This is not the first time a Serie A club has looked at Jonathan David. In previous years both Inter Milan and Napoli have reportedly scouted him.
However, a deal never materialized. The striker’s contract with Lille expires next summer. Therefore, a move away from France and Lille after five seasons is an option for David.
Something Jonathan David himself confirmed in a recent interview.
Jonathan David joined Lille on August 11 2020 for a reported transfer fee of €30 million. This made him the most expensive Canadian footballer of all time.
Since then, Jonathan David has featured 189 times for Lille, scoring 87 times in the process. The Canada star was integral when Lille won Ligue 1 as well as Trophée des Champions in 2021.
