Aston Villa Make Initial Enquiry for Juventus Striker Jonathan David

Overview

• The enquiry was reported Monday and came via Tuttomercatoweb, with Football Italia and other outlets saying Villa have sounded out the availability of Jonathan David without submitting a formal offer.
• Juventus are open to moving David because his first season in Turin fell short of expectations and selling him would free cash and squad space for a new forward target.
• David scored about eight goals in 2025–26 and is seen as not fully fitting Luciano Spalletti’s immediate plans, which has driven Juventus’ willingness to consider offers.
• Aston Villa view David as a possible short-term solution to add attacking depth for the Premier League and Champions League, though his reported €6m salary and preference to remain at Juventus complicate talks.
• Other English clubs have been linked with David and a move would help Juventus balance finances and make room to pursue Joshua Zirkzee, so the enquiry is a first step rather than a completed transfer.
