With the Canadian sensation’s agent announcing that the rising star will depart the reigning Ligue 1 champions Lille at the end of the season, both Milanese clubs are eager to join the race for the promising marksman Jonathan David.
Although the young starlet’s contract with Lille is only set to expire at the end of the 2024-2025 campaign, the Ligue 1 giants are set to cash in on one of their most prized assets as David is eager to seek an audacious challenge at a new destination next season.
So far this season, the Canadian talisman has been in sizzling-hot form as he managed to score 16 goals in 34 appearances for Lille across all competitions. In addition, David has played a pivotal role in Canada’s world cup qualifying campaign as he managed to score nine goals and provide five assists in 15 games played for his nation.
With Lille prepared to place a €60 million price tag on the North American talent, Inter are keen to obtain David’s signature. According to Sempre Inter, the Nerazzurri are set to offload Alexis Sanchez in order to make space for a new striker.
Moreover, La Beneamata are also weighing the possibility of selling Lautaro Martinez for a lucrative fee of €70 million in order to lure both David and the Neroverdi marksman Gianluca Scamacca.
On the other hand, Milan are also desperate to lure the 22 year-old striker to the San Siro as the future of Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to grow with an immense amount of uncertainty.
With David’s incredible run of form sending shock-waves across the world, the Serie A giants are not the only clubs within the race as Arsenal, Dortmund, and Newcastle are all prepared to submit a hefty offer for the rising star.
However, despite the stiff competition they face for the Lille marksman’s signature, both Milanese clubs are determined to push for the accusation of David as they firmly believe he can play a fundamental role within the long-term future of both clubs through his incredible pace, his astonishing composure in-front of goal, and his brilliant dribbling skills.
