However, things are not going as planned.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jonathan_David_has_struggled_in_Serie_A_this_season\"><\/span>Jonathan David has struggled in Serie A this season<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>His first season in Serie A has been described as disappointing, and Juventus appear keen to restructure their front line.<\/p>\n<p>For the Magpies, it&#8217;s clear why they&#8217;re looking to move their attackers.<\/p>\n<p>Their 2025-26 season was a huge disappointment. After spending heavily on attacking players such as Yoan Wissa, Nick Woltemade and Anthony Elanga, the Magpies finished 12th and missed out on Europe altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Wissa have struggled mightily, scoring just once in 13 appearances, which explains why Eddie Howe is looking for more firepower this summer.<\/p>\n<p>David would suggest something different. He is fast, sharp in the box and has a strong scoring record from his time at Lille.<\/p>\n<p>Although he is not a very tall or athletic striker, he is agile and able to play across the front lines when necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The most appealing part of this deal may be its structure. If Juventus are indeed willing to take him on loan, Newcastle should also be interested.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Could_Newcastle_United_find_a_way_to_sign_David\"><\/span>Could Newcastle United find a way to sign David?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Signing a big striker permanently would be expensive and risky, but a loan with an option to buy would allow David to test his suitability for the Premier League before committing to a permanent deal.<\/p>\n<p>Questions still remain as to whether David wants this move. Newcastle remain a big club with a passionate fan base, but without European football they may face competition from teams offering a closer continental stage.<\/p>\n<p>If Newcastle can sign him without a huge upfront fee, it could be one of their smart moves this summer.<\/p>\n<p>David has enough quality to rediscover his best form and the Premier League could be right for him if Howe gives him a defined role.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger issue for Newcastle is recruitment. Last summer&#8217;s offensive spending didn&#8217;t produce enough results, and they can&#8217;t afford to make any more costly mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>David could be a smart bet, especially if Juventus give him the green light, but the deal would need to be structured carefully.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Newcastle United plan ambitious move to replace Sandro Tonali<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle United are reportedly encouraging Juventus striker Jonathan David to leave this summer, with the Canadian forward expected to be available after a tough first season in Turin.According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle have been in touch with David about a potential deal and Juventus are now open to letting him leave.
