According to Tuttomercato, an idea for a swap deal involving Jonathan David moving to Atletico Madrid and Alex Sorloth joining Juventus was not pursued by the Italian club. Juventus believe that David's adaptation period would produce the desired results. The possibility was also not explored further because Jonathan David is not a player that interests Diego Simeone. The report adds that David was proposed to Atletico Madrid on a free transfer before his summer move to Juventus, but Atletico immediately rejected the possibility.

A potential loan exchange between Juventus and Atletico Madrid has been reported. This exchange would involve Juventus sending 25-year-old Canadian international Jonathan David to Atletico Madrid, with Alexander Sørloth joining the Italian club. Juventus is looking to reinforce their attack because of underperforming forwards and an injury to Dusan Vlahovic. Playing in the Spanish league could be an appealing prospect for David. David joined Juventus in July 2025, and his contract with the club is valid until 2030. He has 73 caps and 37 goals for Canada. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €35.00m.
