Canadian forward Jonathan David is moving from Juventus Turin to Atletico Madrid. The Spanish club, home to Slovakian international Dávid Hancko, has secured the 26-year-old striker on loan until the end of the season. According to local media, 'Los Colchoneros' hold an option to make the transfer permanent for 25 million euros after the loan spell concludes.

David joined Juventus last year from OSC Lille. He endured a challenging debut season in Italy's Serie A, managing only eight goals. Prior to that, he had a prolific spell in France, netting 109 goals in 232 appearances for Lille.

He will be vying for a spot in Atletico's attack alongside Julian Alvarez, the Argentine forward who ultimately remained with the Madrid club despite significant interest from FC Barcelona.
