- Canadian forward Jonathan David faces uncertain future at Juventus after difficult season
- Olympique Lyonnais want to sign the 26-year-old amid attacking shortage
- David would work again with former Lille boss Paulo Fonseca in France
- Former Lille star scored only eight goals in 46 matches for Italian club
Jonathan David could leave Juventus just one year after joining the Italian giants. The Canadian striker moved to Turin from Lille OSC last summer without a transfer fee. However, his time in Serie A has proved difficult.
The 26-year-old found the net only eight times in 46 matches across all competitions. This return falls well below his scoring standards during his successful spell in French football.
Now Lyon are monitoring his situation carefully. The Ligue 1 club need fresh attacking options ahead of next season. Endrick has already returned to Real Madrid after his loan spell expired. Additionally, Rachid Ghezzal will depart when his contract ends this summer.
Lyon also hope to keep Roman Yaremchuk permanently. Talks continue with Olympiacos regarding a reduced fee for the Ukrainian striker. Nevertheless, the French side are exploring alternatives should that deal collapse.
According to Le Progres, Lyon view David as a strong candidate to solve their scoring problems. The move would bring the player back together with Paulo Fonseca. The Portuguese coach managed David during their successful period at Lille.
Despite his poor form, David remains tied to Juventus until 2030. The Turin club may consider offers if they can recover part of their investment.
