Jonathan David could be set for a third club in the space of six months, with Juventus putting the Canada international forward up for sale.
Several top European sides are already tracking the No.9, who joined the Turin giants on a free transfer in the summer after his contract with Lille expired.
Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are among the teams who have a close eye on the 25-year-old forward, aware that there is the scope for a potential January transfer bargain.

David, after all, may have struggled to settle in Italy, but he was a prolific scorer with Lille in Ligue 1.
Despite his history of finding the net, Juventus already seem to have had enough. Sky Sport Switzerland reports that he has been put up for sale by the Turin outfit, having scored just one goal and created one more in 11 appearances for the Bianconeri.
David’s entourage is already said to be in contact with numerous European clubs and has already discussed the possibility of the player departing in January, according to the reports.
Spurs and Bayern Munich are two of the teams directly mentioned in terms of having an interest. Both have already asked Juventus about the conditions of a possible deal.
Unless the Canadian can find some form rapidly, he could well leave Juventus after a forgettable six-month spell.
Jonathan David failing to replicate impressive Lille form
David’s stock was high last summer after scoring 25 goals with Lille across all competitions.
Indeed, the Canada international rattled home an impressive seven goals in the Champions League as Lille made the last-16 stage.
There was no question of him being a flat-track bully, either. David’s goals arrived against top-class opponents, including Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid (twice), Juventus and Liverpool.
He has been unable to recapture that level of form at Juventus but still commands an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €44.5 million.
What’s gone wrong?
David has faced unexpected competition at Juventus, who were expected to sell Dusan Vlahovic in the summer but didn’t and who were not expected to sign Lois Openda late in the window. His game time has therefore been limited and he has been placed in a rotation with a couple of other players.
Tactically, he also found if difficult to adjust to Igor Tudor’s style as he was not involved in build-up play to the extent that he was with Lille. This could change following the appointment of Luciano Spalletti as head coach.
Finally, David has found it difficult to adjust to life at new clubs quickly. It took him several weeks to net at Gent then he went three months without scoring at Lille before managing 109 goals in 232 appearances for the French side.
This not only puts into question the wisdom of Juventus selling him in January, but also Tottenham or Bayern buying him if they want an instant impact.
