Report – Inter Milan Still In The Race To Sign Lille Star On A Free Transfer | OneFootball

Serie A champions Inter Milan are still keeping close tabs on the exit-bound Lille center-forward Jonathan David.

According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, the Canada international is one of several names on Beppe Marotta’s shortlist.

Indeed, the reigning Scudetto holders are in the market for a new goal-getter.

Head coach Simone Inzaghi heavily relies on Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez in the final third.

But he needs reliable backup options for the standout duo.

Unfortunately, Mehdi Taremi hasn’t lived up to expectations.

Inter Milan Remain Keen on Lille Superstar Jonathan David

Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa will make room for attacking arrivals in the summer.

Jonathan David has been on Inter’s radar for over a year now.

Indeed, his contract at Lille expires in less than five months.

Therefore, he’ll be free to choose his next destination, with numerous top clubs vying for his signature.

Aware of the competition, Inter are open to other market avenues.

Bologna’s Santiago Castro is a viable target for the Nerazzurri, even though he has become a first-team regular only this season.

Meanwhile, Lecce’s Nikola Krstovic would be a low-profile solution in case the Italian giants decide against breaking the bank.
