As Football Italia reported on Wednesday, David has already agreed to personal terms with the Bianconeri and is ready to sign a €6m-a-year contract plus bonuses up to €2m.

The stalemate in negotiations stems from the player’s entourage, as Juventus are trying to lower their demands to secure approval to complete the deal.
