Lille striker Jonathan David is expected to be one of the most sought-after players in view of the 2025 summer transfer window, and AC Milan have once again been credited with an interest in signing him.
After failing to get a move away this summer, Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) point out that David will be free to sign a pre-contract with another club from January, or perhaps even make a switch during the winter mercato for a cut-price fee given Lille’s now desperate situation in terms of monetising from his sale.
The paper states that Inter are ‘seriously considering’ a move to sign him on a free because he is the right age at 25 and his salary falls within their parameters. The Canadian could join Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Mehdi Taremi to ensure Simone Inzaghi has four quality strikers for his 3-5-2.
However, the same applies to both Milan and Juventus who could both be searching for a striker – be it a starter or a deputy – in around 10 months time. There is likely to be Premier League competition, too.
After a slow start to last season David ended up with 26 goals and nine assists in 47 games. He has three goals and two assists in seven games this season already, across Ligue 1 and the Champions League qualifiers.
Realistically speaking we, the way things are going in this club, we couldn’t tempt David on free even if we wanted to. Not because of the salary, he only plays for a mil at lille, his new salary will be around 4M imao. Thats net ofc. But because the project and management doesn’t really instill confidence.
You get an offer from juve, inter or Milan atm where you gonna go? All offering a similar salary a similar role…
I know wolho I wouldn’t pick
yeah but he can also play as CAM, would be central to the project and could play with Camarda even…
You’re just saying that because you have a hard on for the dude.. I’ll take pulisic on AM any day of the week and make him central for the project. We either get a pure AM or forget about it. David can go flop to juve
This is it. This is case where Milan should go all in 😉
Milan needs to begin negotiating with Lille right now. Then buying him out right in January , then we can get rid of that one trick pony Chukweze, besides he will give us an instant boost , as he knows Fonseca well, and his ways…
Terminate Tammy, why sell Samu?
Terminate tammy lol. A player that can hit the target with his first touch. Looking forward to what tammy can provide for us. If he stays fit weve got 20 plus goals from him. Yep hes going to be better than girouds 15 goals last season. Chukeweze maybe if we are very lucky 10 goal contributions. I hope chukeweze does better but really cant see it. Saelemakers wouldve been better to have there. Defends too! We cant let david go to inter. That’ll be horrible.
Id say though. Probably not sign tammy permanently. He seems to have a trend of performing very well in his first season at clubs.
Get him in on a free and get rid of leak. Spend leak money on the back line
He’s not going to be cheap, even if he has no transfer cost. Looking at huge salary and agent and signing fees
Let’s see how Tammy pans out first before we start talking about another striker.
