Overview
- Juventus and Atlético agreed on a season‑long loan for Jonathan David on Monday with a non‑obligatory €25 million option to buy.
- Atlético will pay more than half of David’s reported €6 million net salary and the two clubs have exchanged documentation to finalise the deal.
- Jonathan David has approved the move to Madrid and will join Diego Simeone’s squad to provide extra attacking options as Álvarez’s future remains uncertain.
- Juventus immediately moved to replace David by securing Nick Woltemade on loan from Newcastle, a step meant to free wage room and fit coach Luciano Spalletti’s preference for a more physical centre‑forward.
- David arrives in Spain after a difficult season in Turin — he scored eight goals in 46 appearances — and the loan structure gives Atlético a low‑risk chance to revive his form while Juventus retain future flexibility.
