Juventus Replace Jonathan David With Woltemade as Roma Targets Leweling

Loan deals with buy options free wages, letting clubs add attacking depth before the 20:00 transfer deadline.

Overview

  • With David’s exit cleared, Juventus expects Nick Woltemade to arrive for medicals and sign a season-long loan from Newcastle as Spalletti seeks a more physical attacking option.
  • AS Roma has submitted a €35 million plus bonuses offer to VfB Stuttgart for Jamie Leweling while also holding a reported loan agreement for Luiz Henrique from Zenit, keeping both targets active in the final hours.
  • Corriere della Sera and other outlets report Juventus also reached terms with Tottenham for Pape Sarr on a loan with conditional buy terms tied to appearances and European qualification.
  • The 20:00 deadline has driven a flurry of loans with options or conditional obligations as clubs balance finances, respond to coaches’ tactical needs, and push for last-minute attacking reinforcements.
