Napoli Join Inter, Juve In The Race To Sign Lille Star

Napoli are ready to rival Inter Milan and Juventus to sign striker Jonathan David on a free transfer this summer.

This according to SportItalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla. He reports on his homepage that the Partenopei have shortlisted the Canadian, along with Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez, in attack.

Jonathan David is set to be one of the big free transfer opportunities of the summer window.

The 25-year-old’s contract with Lille runs out at the end of next month. And he has long confirmed that he will not be signing a new deal.

Therefore, plenty of clubs have been eyeing up the chance to sign David without a transfer fee.

However, so far David has not made a decision about his future. No club has made the decisive offer to the Canadian and his representatives.

Napoli Rival Inter & Juventus For Jonathan David
As Pedulla notes, some of the most serious interest in David’s signature has come from Serie A.

Inter Milan are certainly no strangers to taking advantage of free transfers. Therefore, it is perhaps not a surprise that they are leading the chase.

However, Juventus are also major admirers of Jonathan David.

The Bianconeri will be looking to make a big attacking signing if Dusan Vlahovic leaves.

Meanwhile, though, Pedulla reports that yet another big name from Serie A is ready to join the race.

The SportItalia transfer expert anticipates that Napoli want to invest in a big name attacking signing this summer.

There are some targets within Serie A that the Partenopei are eyeing up. These include Udinese’s Lorenzo Lucca and Parma’s Ange-Yoan Bonny.

However, reports Pedulla, Napoli are aiming for a more ambitious attacking signing. He reports that they are serious about trying to sign David.

Also on the Serie A league leaders’ radar is Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan would cost around €50-55 million.
