Atlético Madrid have signed Canada striker Jonathan David on loan from Juventus for the season, the two clubs announced on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old scored 109 goals in 232 appearances for Lille, helping the club win Ligue 1 and the French Super Cup, before joining Juventus in 2025. He is Canada’s all-time leading scorer with 42 goals and scored three times at the 2026 World Cup.

David made 46 appearances in domestic and European competitions for Juventus last season, scoring eight goals, and added one appearance at the start of the current campaign. At Atlético, he will compete for playing time with Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth, who missed early matches because of a muscle injury.
