Inter and Juventus in Touch with Napoli Target David | OneFootball

Jonathan David recently announced that he would indeed leave Lille as a free agent, although that was Pulcinella’s secret, but not his next destination, with Napoli, Juventus, and Inter vying to capture him with a few European sides.

The Partenopei recently had an in-person meeting with his entourage but didn’t fully come to terms, Il Mattino reports (via MSN). In particular, the parties didn’t agree on the commissions. The club believes the demand is too high.

Napoli not sealing the deal for David left an opening for Inter and Juventus. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri had new contacts with his representative Nick Mavromaras, but their offer is lower than others on the striker’s table. Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid have all shown some level of interest.

The Canadian striker is young enough to fit Oaktree’s policy about the new signings. However, they too refrain from handing out large sums to agents. Juventus had tested the waters a few months ago and rekindled their pursuit recently, Gianluca Di Marzio informs.

Our Take on David, Napoli, Inter, and Juventus

His camp is doing its due diligence, and his requests must be massive if there’s no frontrunner yet. Technically speaking, the Bianconeri should be tracking him with the most conviction, as they’ll have a gaping hole in his position, while he’d be a straight addition for the other two Serie A powerhouses. They are also the most likely to agree to rich wages and commissions. On the other hand, the timing might be off. They might not make a real move for another elite center-forward while they still have a shot to purchase Victor Osimhen.
