Jonathan David set for Atletico Madrid spell after Juventus agreement

Atletico Madrid have officially announced the signing of Juventus forward Jonathan David on loan for the remainder of the current season.

The agreement, confirmed on the Spanish club’s official website, also contains an option for Atletico Madrid to make the move permanent. The announcement marks David’s switch from Juventus to the Madrid side, with the Canada international now set to continue the campaign with Atletico.

David joined Juventus in the summer of last year and has made 47 appearances for the Italian club in all competitions. During that time, he scored eight goals and provided five assists.

The 26-year-old’s contract with Juventus runs until the middle of 2030. Despite that long-term agreement, he will spend the rest of the current season with Atletico Madrid under the terms of the newly confirmed loan.

The option included in the deal gives Atletico the possibility of securing David’s services beyond the temporary arrangement. Earlier reports suggested the Spanish club could complete a permanent transfer for a fee of about €25m, although the official announcement did not provide further details about the option.

David’s departure brings a temporary change to his club career after one season in Turin. His record of 47 matches, eight goals and five assists provides the statistical summary of his time with Juventus before the move to Atletico Madrid.

For Atletico, the agreement provides access to a forward who has already been involved in 47 matches for Juventus across all competitions. The Canadian will remain with the Madrid club until the end of the current season, when the option to buy can become relevant.

The transfer was formally announced by Atletico Madrid, confirming that David’s immediate future lies in Spain rather than with Juventus. His contractual position in Turin remains protected by the deal that runs through mid-2030, while the loan allows him to represent Atletico for the rest of the campaign.

The reported figure of approximately €25m gives an indication of the possible cost of a permanent move, but the current arrangement is a loan with an option to buy rather than a completed transfer. No further terms were included in Atletico Madrid’s announcement.

David has therefore moved from Juventus to Atletico Madrid on a temporary basis, with the possibility of continuing in Madrid beyond the current season. The switch came after his first season with Juventus, during which he played 47 times and contributed eight goals and five assists in all competitions.
