MN: A Derby della Madonnina is brewing off the pitch as Inter and Milan seek a striker

AC Milan and Inter are currently preparing to do battle on the pitch as the Derby della Madonnina takes place this Saturday in Serie A.

As highlighted by Milan News, there is a battle between the two sides brewing in the transfer market too.

Coming into the final stages of the transfer window in the summer, both teams needed a striker or two and neither got what you would call long-term solutions. Inter signed Marko Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez, whilst Milan were forced into a last-minute signing of Luka Jovic for depth.

They are both going to be looking at strikers again very soon and they could both find themselves trying to sign Jonathan David from Lille.

He was expected to move in the summer but it did not materialise. A deal could potentially cost €50-60m, but with his deal running out in 2025, there is scope for that price to come down in the summer of 2024.
