Paris Saint-Germain surprisingly linked to Juventus star

PSG have been improving their attack for much of this transfer window, and they have now been linked with a surprise move for Juventus’ Jonathan David.

Juve have told David that he has to leave in this window if he wants to play because he is simply not in the plans of their manager, having shown that he is not good enough for the team.

The attacker has been given plenty of opportunities to show that he can succeed in Spalletti’s system, but he has failed to do so. Despite that, he remains adamant that he will not leave and wants to fight for his place.

Juve believes it is a fight he has already lost, and the Bianconeri would prefer to offload him in this window and sign a replacement who can perform well in their team.

Not many clubs from the top leagues have shown interest in David, and he does not fancy playing outside one of them. However, Tuttomercatoweb says PSG have an interest in his signature.

The Ligue 1 side has Luis Campos as one of their directors, and he worked with David at Lille. He therefore wants the striker to join Luis Enrique’s group, potentially giving PSG a connection that could help them complete a deal.

David’s situation at Juventus has made his future uncertain, but his desire to remain at the club could complicate any transfer. The Bianconeri want him to leave, while the player remains determined to fight for a place in the team.

However, PSG believe David earns too much, according to the report, and that concern could scupper the deal and force them not to proceed with their interest.

That would leave Juventus facing the same problem, with the club keen to move David on but the striker reluctant to leave. The Bianconeri need to find a solution if they want to bring in another attacker before the transfer window closes.

PSG could provide David with an attractive alternative, particularly given his previous relationship with Campos, but their concerns over his wages could prevent the move from progressing. For now, Juventus will continue hoping that a suitable solution can be found.
