Juventus Weigh Summer Sale of Jonathan David With Marseille Seen as Leading Suitor

The striker has lost his starting place following a seven-goal return in an underwhelming season under Luciano Spalletti.

Overview

  • Tuttosport, relayed by Goal and Yahoo, reports Juventus are considering moving David on after just one campaign.
  • Marseille is portrayed as the most concrete option for a Ligue 1 return, with positive relations between the clubs and no formal talks announced.
  • Lyon is viewed as unlikely due to David’s past rapport with Paulo Fonseca, according to the Italian reporting cited.
  • A Premier League switch remains possible after January interest from Nottingham Forest and previous approaches from Tottenham and West Ham.
  • David’s €6m-per-year wage is flagged as a major obstacle, while a sale could still yield a gain because he joined on a free, with Football Italia noting €12.5m in commissions spread over three years.
