However, there was a risk that the deal might fall through because David's agents were demanding a large sum of money, reportedly around €25 million, to secure the player's transfer to his next club.
Despite this, David was willing to join Juventus and had agreed to a €6 million per year contract. The club's General Manager, Damien Comolli, appealed to David to persuade his agents to reduce their demands.
Ultimately, David's determination to join Juventus prevailed, and his agents agreed to lower their commission fees to over €10 million, allowing the transfer to proceed as planned.
