Jonathan David will transfer on a free at the end of the season, despite Lille’s efforts to keep him, and Juventus and Inter will have to be ready to pay up to put him under contract. While his next team won’t need to spend on the fee, the signing won’t come cheap, TuttoSport informs.
The striker is one of the most coveted future free agents. He asks for a five-year contract with €6M wages. Plus, the signing bonus and the commissions would amount to at least €10M.
Inter and Juventus are dated suitors of David and will have to tangle with a few Premier League sides in particular. Cristiano Giuntoli tried to bring him to Napoli two years ago. Inter director Piero Ausilio is in touch with his agent Nick Mavromaras, who stated his demands and the list of contenders for his client.
The Bianconeri might not wait that long to bring in a new striker. They are attentively keeping tabs on Joshua Zirzkee amid his struggles to adapt to English football and coaching change that’s unlikely to help him. He makes €3.5M, which is well within their parameters. They plot to make an attempt to onboard him on loan in January, should Manchester United provide any opening in that direction.
The sums are rich but not excessive, and the two Serie A sides could meet them if they wished to. It remains to be seen how determined they’ll be, though. The Bianconeri’s chase might hinge on what will happen with Dusan Vlahovic and his contract. The reigning Scudetto holders already have two elite strikers and are struggling to give decent minutes to Mehdi Taremi.
