After a surprising title and a pair of strong seasons, Jonathan David intends to leave next summer. The Lille striker will drum up a bidding war across Europe. Milan and Inter will be among the contenders, Calciomercato.com reports.
The Rossoneri and the Nerazzurri tracked the attacker while he was still at Genk. He eventually opted to join the French club, which paid €27M to sign him. The 21-year-old is currently the top scorer in Ligue 1. He has already hit the net 11 times, and he is on track to smash his previous numbers.
The agent of the Lille striker Nick Mavramaras discussed his plans on the So Soccer podcast: “I do not know what his price tag could be. It will be up to his team to decide it. He is aware of being one of the best strikers in the world and knows how to handle this kind of pressure.”
“We are focusing on the current season right now, and we are looking to finish it the best way we can. But I can already announce that it will be his last one at Lille. Premier League would be an excellent option for his future. But he would be comfortable in La Liga too. We do not rule anything like, for instance, a transfer to PSG or to a top Serie A team.”
Both Inter and Milan were previously rumored to be eyeing some young options to bolster their frontlines in 2022. The Lille striker could be among the most intriguing but also expensive ones.
