AC Milan Face Setback as Liverpool, PSG Target Proves Too Costly to Sign | OneFootball

With Randal Kolo Muani now at Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain are likely looking to move the French striker permanently—either keeping him in Turin or sending him elsewhere. That could open the door for PSG to target a new No. 9 this summer.

According to Tuttosport, PSG are eyeing Jonathan David from LOSC Lille as a potential replacement. Newcastle United and West Ham are also in the mix, monitoring the Canadian striker, who’s set to become a free agent when his contract expires on June 30.

Juventus reportedly have strong interest too, as Serie A clubs begin to circle. But despite that, David appears to be leaning toward a move to the Premier League.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t ESPN), Milan have also been offered David, who’s set to become a free agent. However, even though there wouldn’t be a transfer fee, completing a deal could still come with significant costs.

Recently, Empire of the Kop reported that Liverpool are now considered “serious contenders” to sign David as a free agent this summer, with negotiations already underway.

CaughtOffside previously reported that David is a hot commodity, with several top European teams vying for his signature. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Newcastle are all in the race—especially as Newcastle continue to track Alexander Isak’s situation.

David isn’t rushing into a decision. According to CaughtOffside, he plans to weigh his options and make a choice after the season wraps up. When asked about what’s next, he kept things vague, suggesting he’s keeping his options open.
