It's already getting hot attention.
Matteo Moreto, a reporter familiar with the news of Spanish and Italian soccer, said on the 17th (Korea time), "Jonathan David is attracting attention from Inter Milan and Juventus. Atletico Madrid also showed interest, but now they are not interested."
A Canadian forward, David made his professional debut with KAA Hent (Belgium) in 2018. He is said to be the type who scores many goals with outstanding off-the-ball movement and also excels in scoring goals. He is also good at using both feet and is short in height, but has a strong physique.
David, who showed potential at Hent, joined French powerhouse LOSC Lille in recognition of his potential in 2020. At the time, David recorded a transfer fee of 31.5 million euros (about 46.8 billion won), which was Lille's club record.
David, who set a club record, lived up to expectations by scoring 13 goals and four assists from his first season. He then scored 19 goals in the 2021-22 season, drawing Bayern Munich's attention. At the time, Lille asked Bayern Munich for a whopping 70 million euros (W104.1 billion) in David's transfer fee, which forced Bayern Munich to withdraw its plan to recruit David.
After failing to transfer to a major club, David continued to score goals. He scored 26 goals in the 2022-23 season and 26 goals in the last season as well. He has continued his performance this season by scoring eight goals and two assists. David has scored 92 goals and 20 assists so far in Lille alone.
And now David is expected to receive tremendous attention from big clubs. It is not just because of his record. His contract with Lille will expire next summer. Naturally, big clubs got a chance to recruit David for free.
It is not common to recruit a striker as good as David for free. Therefore, Juventus and Inter Milan are currently showing interest, but more big clubs are expected to show interest in him as summer approaches. 안전놀이터
