CorSport: Milan not scared by €50m demand as Lille striker tops wish list

AC Milan have put Jonathan David at the top of their wish list for the No.9 role, hoping to use their good relations with Lille. The Rossoneri will not back down despite the initial €50m demand, a report claims. 

David has been linked with Milan for a very long time, it should be noted, but now the time has come for the Rossoneri to make a serious attempt. Olivier Giroud isn’t getting any younger and a new striker will be needed for next season.

According to Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews), Milan are hoping to use their good relationship with Lille who, however, have slapped an initial price tag of €50m on the player. Knowing that his contract will expire in 2025, Gorgio Furlani is hoping to negotiate a better deal.

Mehdi Taremi is still an option for the club as well, given that his contract with Porto will expire in the summer, but he’s more of an alternative to David. It’s believed that Inter also are monitoring the Iranian international, though, which could complicate things.
