Overview
- Multiple Spanish and international reports on Friday, October 16, 2026 say Atlético have decided they want to sign Jonathan David permanently and have provisioned funds for the €25 million option.
- Juventus issued an official statement when they loaned David that Atlético hold an option to buy him for €25 million, with the fee payable across four financial years.
- David has delivered five direct goal contributions in his first four LaLiga appearances, and head coach Diego Simeone has publicly praised his fit and defensive work for the team.
- David moved to Atlético on loan after a mixed season at Juventus, where he scored six goals and provided four assists in Serie A before being sent to Madrid for more game time.
- No formal purchase has been announced yet and Atlético could still negotiate payment terms with Juventus, so the next steps to complete a permanent transfer remain unresolved.
