Jonathan David’s future at Lille appears increasingly uncertain as the Canadian striker approaches the final months of his contract, which expires in June. Despite Lille’s offer for a contract extension, David is reportedly keen on taking the next step in his career, aiming to join a top club in Europe. With several suitors expressing interest, the race for his signature is heating up.
Calciomercato [**report**](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/la-premier-si-muove-per-jonathan-david-cosa-cambia-per-inter-e-j-51339) how both Inter Milan and Juventus have shown serious interest in acquiring David. Representatives from both clubs have engaged in discussions with the player’s entourage to explore the possibility of bringing him to Italy ahead of potential competition from other European teams. Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli reportedly spoke with David’s agent during a Champions League match against Lille, where David scored a crucial equalizer.
David’s salary demands are estimated to be around €6-7 million per season, which could pose a challenge for interested clubs, especially given the strong competition from abroad. Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham have also been linked to the forward, with Tottenham emerging as a frontrunner for his signature.
The prospect of David leaving Lille has generated significant buzz, particularly as he has been linked to some of Europe’s elite clubs, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich. His availability on a free transfer makes him an attractive option for many teams looking to bolster their attacking options without incurring a hefty transfer fee.
As January approaches, both Inter and Juventus must act swiftly if they wish to secure David’s services before he potentially commits to a club in England or Spain. The situation remains fluid, with Lille hoping to retain their star player until the end of the season while David seems resolute in his desire to move on.
