Overview
- Jonathan David signed a five-year contract through June 2030 after completing medicals on July 4 and joins on a free transfer from Lille.
- The club will spread €12.5 million in accessory costs over three financial years while David earns €6.5 million net per season plus up to €2 million in performance bonuses.
- Under director general Damien Comolli’s data-driven recruitment strategy and coach Igor Tudor’s system, David’s versatility as a first and second striker is expected to strengthen Juventus’ attack.
- Dusan Vlahovic, who made one start in four Club World Cup matches under Tudor, has been displaced in the pecking order and Juventus is planning to offload his €12 million annual wage.
- Freed wages from a Vlahovic departure are earmarked for additional attacking reinforcements, with Victor Osimhen and Kolo Muani identified as potential targets.
