According to a report by TEAMtalk, Jonathan David is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The LOSC Lille striker is closing in on sealing a Bosman move to Inter Milan in the summer transfer window after receiving a five-year contract worth €4.5 million per season. However, the Reds are mulling over a last-gasp hijack to steal a march on the Serie A champions.
Jonathan David has been among the most productive strikers in the world since joining Inter Milan from KAA Gent in August 2020. The Ligue 1 club’s fortunes have been synonymous with the Brooklyn-born striker’s output, and he has been exceptional in the last few seasons.
The 25-year-old has won one surprise Ligue 1 title with Lille, with his output helping Les Dogues seal the deal in his debut season. Meanwhile, David has been excellent in the ongoing campaign, contributing to 36 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 25 times and providing 11 assists.
However, David’s spell with Lille will end after the curtains fall on the 2024/25 season, as he is ready to embark on a new adventure once his contract with the Ligue 1 outfit runs out. The situation has piqued the attention of several European bigwigs, with Liverpool and Inter Milan among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Inter Milan’s interest in Jonathan David is understandable. The Nerazzurri will likely part ways with Joaquin Correa and Marko Arnautovic in the summer transfer window. In addition, Marcus Thuram is a target for several European bigwigs, including Liverpool. So, the Serie A champions need a new striker, and they have offered a five-year deal to David worth €4.5 million per season and €6 million with bonuses.
However, Liverpool might aim to steal a march on Inter Milan for David’s signature as they look to replace Darwin Nunez with a prolific striker in the summer transfer window. The Reds have reportedly been in contact with the LOSC Lille attacker’s representatives in recent weeks. So, David is a viable target for Liverpool.
However, Liverpool might face a tall order to land the 25-year-old Canadian international, with Inter Milan reportedly closing in on sealing an agreement over a Bosman move. So, it will be interesting to see if the Reds can hijack the Serie A club’s move for the LOSC Lille striker.
