Jonathan David has joined Atletico Madrid on loan from Juventus, but the striker has already faced criticism from supporters of the Spanish club over his weight.
The forward was one of the players Juventus wanted to move on this summer after just one season at the club, having failed to prove that he was the right signing for the Old Lady. David wanted to remain in Turin even if his opportunities were limited, but Juventus eventually found a solution.
The Bianconeri were also fortunate to find Atletico Madrid willing to take one of their players on loan for the second summer running. Last season, the Spanish side took Nicolas Gonzalez on loan, and his spell in Spain proved successful.
Juventus will hope David can follow Gonzalez's example and produce a strong campaign in Spain. The Bianconeri would like the striker to perform well enough to earn a permanent move away from Turin, which would allow them to finally end his time at the club.
David now has an important opportunity to rebuild his reputation at Atletico. With his future at Juventus already uncertain, making an impact during his loan spell could be crucial to determining where he plays next.
