Spalletti showed against Chelsea that he wants Jonathan David to leave

Luciano Spalletti's substitution choice against Chelsea implies that he may not be relying on Jonathan David as a key striker for the upcoming season at Juventus. Despite David's talent as a poacher capable of being clinical in front of goal, his overall contribution to Juventus has been limited. After returning from the World Cup, the Canadian striker was expected to start against Chelsea, but Spalletti opted for Arkadiusz Milik in goal, suggesting a preference for different attacking options.

During his brief time on the pitch, David was unable to create significant threats and failed to influence Juventus' performance, leading to his early departure. The striker's limited impact raised questions about his role within the squad, leading Spalletti to replace him with Arman Durmisi after less than 30 minutes. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that this decision is a strong indication that Spalletti does not expect David to contribute this season, and Juventus is actively seeking a new destination for the player.

David joined Juventus with high hopes of becoming an important attacking option; however, his performances have failed to convince the club of his central importance. With the upcoming season approaching, Juventus will now consider their options for managing the Canadian forward, potentially deciding that relocating him is the best course of action for both the player and the team.
