David has already outlined his contract demands, asking for a five-year deal worth €9 million gross per year.

Furthermore, any interested club would reportedly need to meet additional signing bonuses.

Indeed, agent commissions would mount up to €10m, making it prohibitive for many European clubs.

However, Inter and Juventus can flex their financial muscles to pull off a deal of this magnitude.
