Juventus set for bold summer with David in, Osimhen next? | OneFootball

Juventus are executing significant changes in their transfer strategy and squad planning as the summer market progresses, with several high-profile moves under consideration, according to reports from Tutto Juve, Spazio J, and Bianconera News.

Jonathan David has been confirmed as the club’s latest signing, arriving on a contract until 2030. The Canadian forward brings an impressive record of 25 goals and 12 assists from his time at Lille. He described his ambition succinctly: “I love scoring goals and being at the heart of the play. As a child, I admired Juve. I hope to have a great season.” Observers, such as Carlo Nesti, note that David's style is reminiscent of Thuram, although the Canadian is seen as more incisive in front of goal.

Juventus’ transfer activity is far from done. The club’s hierarchy, led by director Damien Comolli, is maintaining an aggressive stance in the market, with Victor Osimhen a clear priority. Negotiations are ongoing, and although Napoli’s asking price is substantial and competition remains strong—particularly from abroad—contacts with Osimhen’s representatives have taken place. Journalist Gianni Balzarini emphasized that Osimhen “would not be at all disappointed by the idea of wearing the Juve shirt.” With the striker’s release clause set to expire on July 15, Juventus are weighing their approach, balancing patience with the need to act decisively.

Meanwhile, Randal Kolo Muani, another prominent target, appears likely to depart PSG, but Juventus are constrained by salary demands and the structure of a possible deal. According to Paolo De Paola and Massimo Orlando, both Vlahovic and Kolo Muani are expected to leave, mainly for financial reasons. Discussions regarding a potential severance package or reduced salary for Vlahovic have been raised, as his relationship with the club appears to have deteriorated.

On the wings, the pursuit of Jadon Sancho remains alive. Sancho has officially requested a transfer from Manchester United, making Juventus a plausible destination as long as a deal for Francisco Conceicao—still subject to negotiations with Porto—doesn’t close. Should Conceicao remain in Turin, the Sancho pursuit may halt. In the background, Ademola Lookman’s name has circulated, but the arrival of David and the likely retention of Yildiz mean this is now considered unlikely.

Juventus possess considerable financial means, with income from tournaments and sponsors estimated at €250 million this season. Still, the club is carefully evaluating investments, opting for moves designed to both reinforce Igor Tudor’s attack and ensure long-term stability.

Outgoing movements are also shaping the squad. Moise Kean is attracting Napoli’s interest, while Timothy Weah is the subject of proposals from Marseille and Premier League clubs.

With David’s arrival confirmed, Osimhen as the main target, and key decisions to be made on the futures of Vlahovic, Kolo Muani, and various wingers, Juventus are poised for further significant action before the window closes, focusing on building a team capable of challenging on all fronts.
