The whispers have turned into roars, and the speculation into glorious reality. Jonathan David, a successful Canadian international, has now officially donned Juventus' trademark black and white stripes. This isn't just another transfer; it's a statement of intent, a strategic masterpiece, and for the passionate Bianconeri faithful, a monumental reason to believe that a new, electrifying era for their attack has dawned. The 25-year-old forward, joining on a free transfer from Lille after running down his contract, represents a significant coup for a club eager to reclaim its throne in both Serie A and European football. For years, Juventus has sought that missing ingredient in their attacking recipe – a consistent, versatile, and dynamic force capable of unlocking stubborn defenses and converting chances with ruthless efficiency.

It is rare for a NWSL team to sign a player who is renowned worldwide for her technical prowess. Lorena, who is only 26, has already shown that she has what it takes to be among the league's top goalkeepers. She is a vital member of Kansas City's team because of her consistent play, leadership, and decisive performances throughout her career.
During her introduction, head coach Vlatko Andonovski used a lot of adjectives: "Lorena has proven to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the highest levels."

Lorena brings experience to compete against the world's finest forwards, winning multiple times.
Grêmio's rise in Brazil and their relationship
Beginning in her native of Ituverava, Lorena's path developed in Grêmio's young divisions, where her innate skill developed into technical brilliance. After graduating from Sport Recife, she came back to Grêmio to excel in the starting lineup. She won significant state championships including Campeonato Gaúcho in 2022 and 2024, solidifying her position as one of the nation's top goalkeepers.
Despite the great expectations, Lorena seems up to the task. Her dedication is evident in her first statement as a Current player: "I'm sure we'll write a beautiful story with the Current fans." Lorena's arrival is a blatant indication that Kansas City Current is committed to competing at the top level in a league like the NWSL, where every little detail counts.

This contract's length also demonstrates the club's belief in her abilities as a player and as a point of reference for the development of the team's identity and brand. She has a lot of potential to develop into one of the league's and perhaps the world's top goalkeepers.
