Reports suggest that Milan and Napoli have shown interest in securing the services of Jonathan David, the striker from Lille. However, Chelsea has entered the competition for the Canadian international.
Both Milan and Napoli are poised to seek a new central forward during the upcoming summer transfer window. This necessity arises as Victor Osimhen is anticipated to depart Stadio Maradona, while Olivier Giroud’s contract with San Siro expires by the season’s end.
Regardless of Giroud’s future with the club, Milan intends to procure a new central forward. According to Gazzetta, David is among Milan’s prospective targets, alongside six other contenders. Napoli, on the other hand, has included David, 24, in their shortlist of five strikers.
Recent reports from Telefoot and Caught Offside indicate that Chelsea is also keeping tabs on David for a potential transfer at the conclusion of the season. The Canadian forward has tallied 11 goals in 26 appearances across various competitions this season.
Of note is Chelsea’s involvement in the pursuit of Osimhen, placing them among the frontrunners. Should Chelsea secure Osimhen from Napoli in the summer, it would likely bolster Napoli’s financial resources and diminish competition for the Canadian star.
