Overview
- Multiple Spanish reports published on Friday say Atlético have decided to pursue a permanent transfer for Jonathan David and have allocated €25m in next season’s budget to do so.
- Juventus’ official summer statement confirms David is on loan to Atlético until 30 June 2027 and that Atlético hold an option to buy for €25m payable over four financial years.
- David has made an immediate impact in LaLiga, producing three goals and two assists in his first four league appearances, and coach Diego Simeone has publicly praised the player’s fit and defensive work.
- Reports say Atlético are willing to pay the full €25m if they cannot agree alternative payment terms with Juventus, but the club has not yet issued a formal announcement to trigger the option.
- If the option is exercised before the June 2027 deadline, the move would settle David’s future after one season at Juventus and shape Atlético’s attacking plans and Juventus’ transfer accounting.
