During initial contacts between the clubs, Crystal Palace proposed sending Mateta to Juventus in a swap deal for 26-year-old Canadian centre-forward Jonathan David. Juventus firmly rejected the proposal. The Italian club considers the forward not for sale and a key part of their new project. While Juventus is interested in Mateta, they would only consider a deal under different conditions, not involving an exchange for David.
In the current Serie A season, David has made 19 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists. The forward, who has 73 caps and 37 goals for Canada, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €35.00m. He has also been recently linked with several other clubs, including Atlético Madrid and Newcastle United.
