Inter aren’t the only Serie A team tracking Jonathan David, who could potentially leave Lille on a Bosman move, as Juventus have had him on their radar for some time too. Cristiano Giuntoli tracked him when he was at Napoli and hasn’t lost interest, Alfredo Pedullà informs.
Les Dogues offered him a renewal, but he’s unlikely to take it and probably won’t change his mind in the coming months. The Bianconeri director had inquired about him in the past as a potential replacement for Victor Osimhen. He did it again last summer when PSG chased after Dusan Vlahovic.
Juventus and Inter will continue to keep tabs on David. Milan evaluated him but went for Alvaro Morata instead. His price tag wasn’t particularly affordable last summer despite his contractual situation. The Nerazzurri had a meeting with his agent in April, but they would have pursued him only if Marcus Thuram left. The Frenchman has a €85M release clause and is not for sale otherwise.
The Scudetto holders will get rid of Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa next year since their deals will run out. They are looking for the right piece to add, something they couldn’t do in the last couple of months.
Our Take on Juventus and David
The talks with Vlahovic are in the early stages, but this already feels like a subtle message in case there’s no agreement on an extension. The Canadian star would be a luxury as a deputy/co-starter, also salary-wise. In such a scenario, a move to Turin would be more enticing in terms of role unless something happens with Thuram or Lautaro Martinez, which most likely won’t.
