Jonathan David Set For Shock Juventus Exit As Tottenham And Bayern Circle Ahead Of January Window

Jonathan David Set For Shock Juventus Exit As Tottenham And Bayern Circle Ahead Of January Window

The January transfer window might just bring one of the most unexpected twists of the season! Reports from Sky Sports suggest that Juventus are ready to offload Jonathan David, only a few months after signing him from Lille.

The Canadian international, once hailed as one of Europe’s most clinical forwards, has struggled to adapt to life in Serie A. With just one goal in 11 appearances, David’s debut season in Turin has been far from electric.

Now, whispers from Turin indicate that Juve could cut their losses early, and the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are already circling the striker.


David’s Tough Start In Italy

Jonathan David arrived in Italy with huge expectations after netting 25 goals and providing 12 assists in his final season with Lille. But Serie A hasn’t been kind to him. He’s managed just one goal — which came in the opening game against Parma — and since then, it’s been a quiet spell for the 25-year-old.

Even more telling, David has played only about half of Juventus’ total minutes this season, as new boss Luciano Spalletti doesn’t seem convinced. The Canadian has often found himself warming the bench while Dusan Vlahovic and Lois Openda lead the line.


Tottenham’s Striker Dilemma

At Tottenham, there’s a mini-crisis up front. With Dominic Solanke sidelined due to injury and both Kolo Muani and Mathys Tel failing to impress, Spurs are desperate for a forward who can finish chances and bring energy to their attack.

Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Spurs have already made a formal inquiry about David’s availability. The North London club is eager to fix their attacking woes after scoring just once in their last five games — a stat that’s making their fans restless.

If David makes the switch to the Premier League, he could get the fresh start he needs — and Tottenham might get the reliable finisher they’ve been missing.


Bayern Munich Join The Race

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich aren’t sitting this one out. The Bavarian giants have also been in touch with David’s representatives, exploring a potential move. Although Bayern’s attack remains strong, they’re reportedly planning ahead — looking for depth and versatility in their forward line.

With both Tottenham and Bayern monitoring his situation, Juventus could spark a bidding war if they officially put David on the transfer market.


What Next For Jonathan David?

It’s been a whirlwind few months for Jonathan David — from being Lille’s top scorer to struggling for minutes in Italy. A move to England or Germany might reignite his spark, but Juventus fans will surely wonder what went wrong so quickly.

As the January window draws near, one thing’s certain: David’s story is far from over. Whether it’s London or Munich, the next chapter of his career might just be where he rediscovers his form.
