# Juventus transfer activity and medical updates > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/fiorentina-transfer-market-activity > Updated: 2026-09-04T16:52:45.000Z. Sources: 230. Developments: 31. Juventus continues to navigate complex transfer maneuvers as the window nears its close. The club has finalized an agreement with Atletico Madrid for the loan of Canadian forward Jonathan David, a deal featuring an option to buy for approximately €25 million, with Atletico covering over 50 percent of his salary. David has completed his medical in Madrid to bolster their attack for LaLiga and the Champions League. This move follows Atletico’s decision to retain Julián Álvarez, who declined interest from Arsenal and stayed at the club despite expressing a desire to join FC Barcelona. Atlético management maintained a firm stance against negotiating with their La Liga rivals, leading Álvarez to return to training under Diego Simeone. To bolster the attack, Juventus has officially completed the season-long loan signing of German striker Nick Woltemade from Newcastle United. The 24-year-old, standing 1.98 meters tall, joins on a straight loan with a fee of approximately £3.5 million and no purchase option. His arrival follows the departures of Dusan Vlahovic and Jonathan David and is intended to provide a physical presence in the final third. Manager Luciano Spalletti aims to utilize Woltemade’s technical ability alongside other recent arrivals like Randal Kolo Muani. Negotiations for Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee remain difficult due to high valuations and agent commission complexities. Medical concerns have intensified. Kenan Yildiz underwent successful surgery at the Augsburg Hessingpark Klinik to repair a fifth metatarsal fracture in his left foot; he is expected to be sidelined for two to three months. Additionally, Osase Ekhator has been diagnosed with a medium-grade semitendinosus muscle tear in his right thigh, which may sideline him for approximately two months. Other injured players include Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, and Khephren Thuram. ## Claims - Atletico Madrid has reportedly given Julian Alvarez written permission and a guarantee to transfer to Barcelona.
