    Key Takeaways:

  • Jonathan David reached verbal agreement with Juventus to join as free agent
  • Player demands deal to be finalised quickly, but agents want €15M commission
  • Juventus may withdraw unless financial terms are adjusted

Canadian international Jonathan David has reached a verbal agreement with Juventus and is urging his representatives to finalise the transfer as soon as possible. However, the Old Lady may withdraw from the deal if the player’s agents do not lower their commission demands of €15 million.

David wants to join the Turin giants as a free agent, according to several local media outlets. The 25-year-old striker is set to sign a contract worth €6 million per season plus bonuses. His current deal with Lille expires at the end of the month, making him a free agent and eliminating the need for negotiations between Juventus and the French club.

David joined Lille in the summer of 2020 for a fee of €27 million from Gent. He has taken part in a total of 232 matches for the French side, scoring 109 goals and providing 30 assists.

A new meeting between David’s representatives and Juventus could take place to finalise the details of the agreement — but only if the agents reduce their demands.
