Napoli Strikes Deal with Jonathan David
In a surprising turn of events, Napoli has secured a deal with Canadian forward Jonathan David, outmaneuvering both Milan and various Premier League clubs in the process. The 24-year-old striker, currently playing for Lille, is set to embark on a new chapter in his career.
Last week, David’s representatives sat down with Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna to finalize the agreement. This move comes as David’s contract with Lille nears its end, with the club looking to cash in on the talented forward.
Milan’s Pursuit and Napoli’s Triumph
While Milan expressed a strong interest in acquiring David to strengthen their attacking lineup, Napoli managed to seal the deal by offering a lucrative five-year contract worth approximately €3 million per season. This move signifies Napoli’s determination to bolster their squad and secure top talent.
Despite the agreement with David, Napoli still needs to navigate negotiations with Lille, who are holding out for around €45 million, a figure €10 million higher than Napoli’s initial offer. The Italian club is pushing hard to bridge this gap and gain an advantage over Milan and other interested Premier League sides.
The Future Awaits
As David prepares for his transition to Napoli, fans eagerly anticipate his impact on the Serie A and the exciting matchups that lie ahead. With his skill and versatility, David is poised to make a significant contribution to Napoli’s campaign.
