Atletico Madrid have submitted an official proposal to Juventus for Jonathan David, with the initial structure understood to be a loan deal containing an option to buy. Talks remain ongoing as the two clubs discuss the details, according to Romano.
David is open to joining Atletico Madrid, but Juventus are not yet ready to approve the move. The Italian club want to secure a replacement for the forward before giving the proposal the green light.
The offer currently under discussion is based on a temporary transfer, with Atletico Madrid retaining the possibility of making the move permanent through a buy option. The precise terms of that clause, along with the wider details of the proposal, are still being negotiated between the clubs.
Romano reported the development as an exclusive, confirming that Atletico Madrid have now moved beyond initial interest by making a formal approach to Juventus. However, the bid has not yet resulted in an agreement, and discussions are continuing.
David’s willingness to join Atletico Madrid is a significant part of the developing transfer situation. The Canada international is open to the move, although Juventus’ position means the next step depends on the Italian club’s ability to arrange a replacement.
For now, the proposal remains at the discussion stage. Atletico Madrid have made their offer, Juventus are considering the structure, and both clubs are working through the outstanding details of the loan arrangement and its potential buy option.
Any final approval from Juventus will be dependent on the club securing another forward first. Until that happens, the transfer cannot receive the green light, despite David being receptive to a move to Atletico Madrid.
The negotiations therefore remain active, with the initial loan proposal and the possible permanent-transfer clause at the centre of the talks. No completed deal has been announced, and the clubs must still reach an understanding on the conditions of the offer before the transfer can progress.
