Juventus kick off summer revolution with surprise striker signing | OneFootball

Juventus are set to welcome Jonathan David to Turin as the Canadian striker prepares to undergo his medical, with his arrival scheduled for tomorrow morning, according to Tutto Juve and Spazio J. David, who joins the Bianconeri as a free agent following the end of his contract with Lille, represents the club’s first major move of the summer transfer window under the guidance of new technical director Damien Comolli.

Reporter Orazio Accomando confirmed that David will land at Malpensa before heading to the J|Medical facility in Turin to complete routine assessments and finalize his signing. Juventus had previously targeted David in the past, and his acquisition signals renewed intent to rejuvenate the squad's attacking options.

While David’s signing has generated anticipation, Juventus' work on the attacking front is not concluded. Club executives remain focused on adding another marquee forward, with Napoli's Victor Osimhen placed firmly at the top of their shortlist. The club’s board is reportedly working to secure the striker’s interest before entering formal negotiations with Napoli, as reported by Spazio J. Osimhen’s potential transfer to Turin is also getting increasing attention among bookmakers, but the deal is not yet advanced.

Meanwhile, sources confirm Juventus made an attempt to bring in Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain on loan. However, PSG have rejected all loan proposals, insisting on either a permanent deal or a loan with a mandatory purchase clause, complicating Juventus’ efforts to add the French forward to Igor Tudor’s squad for another season.

Several figures around the club have voiced both optimism and caution about David’s impact. Former players and media commentators describe him as a physically strong attacker with a reputation for consistent scoring, but also point out the challenge of adapting his form from Ligue 1 to the demands of Serie A. Some insiders compare his profile to Dusan Vlahovic and maintain that substantial investment is still needed if Juventus aim to seriously threaten for the Scudetto.

Defensive reinforcements are also under consideration. With priorities currently on reshaping the attack, Juventus are monitoring central defensive options, according to Spazio J, with a possible renewed approach for Feyenoord’s versatile defender Hancko if other negotiations stall.

In sum, Juventus’ signing of Jonathan David marks the beginning of a summer rebuild focused on strengthening the front line, but club officials appear committed to at least one more high-profile attacking addition. With key targets such as Osimhen still in play and defensive depth on the agenda, the weeks ahead are set to be busy as the club seeks to bolster its challenge both in Italy and in Europe.
