Canada's David joins Atletico Madrid on season-long loan

On September 1, Atletico Madrid announced the signing of Canada striker Jonathan David on a season-long loan from Juventus. The 26-year-old possesses impressive statistics, having netted 109 goals in 232 games for Lille, where he also claimed Ligue 1 and the French Super Cup titles. Prior to joining Juventus in 2025, David had been a key player for Canada, leading the nation with 42 goals scored.

At the 2026 World Cup, he contributed three goals to the team. David's impact was evident during Juventus' campaign, where he featured in 46 games across all competitions, including three appearances at the start of the current season. He will vie for playing time alongside Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth, who had to sit out early matches due to a muscle injury.
