Victor Osimhen's list of options may be narrowing after one of his suitors sealed a deal for an attacking alternative.
According to Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, 25-year-old Jonathan David has agreed to join Juventus on a free transfer after his Lille contract expired on June 30.
The Canadian striker has verbally finalized all details with the Serie A club and will sign a long-term deal. He is now expected to head to Turin for medicals and to seal the contract.
David’s future was up in the air throughout the second half of last season, as soon as it became clear he would not be renewing his contract with the French club.
Despite strong interest from elsewhere, Juventus have won the race, as they seek to return to the pinnacle of Italian football.
