Revealed – Outgoing Lille Star Wage Demands Surface Amid Inter Milan Vs Juventus Transfer Tug-Of-War | OneFootball

Outgoing Lille striker Jonathan David could continue his career in Serie A, with Inter Milan and Juventus going head-to-head for his signature.

According to Tuttosport, as reported by FCInterNews, the sought-after center-forward has made his wage requests clear ahead of the summer.

Serie A champions Inter harbor a genuine interest in David.

Considered among Europe’s most elite goal-getters, the Canada international is close to leaving Lille.

Indeed, his contract at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy expires at the end of the season.

With the 24-year-old unwilling to renew his expiring deal, several top European clubs are on red alert.

In addition to Inter and Juventus, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are hot on David’s heels.

Furthermore, runaway La Liga leaders Barcelona are in the mix as they seek a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

David admitted he’d love to join the Catalan powerhouse earlier in the season.

However, Barcelona’s financial turmoil gives Inter and Juventus the upper hand.

Jonathan David Wage Demands Revealed Amid Inter Milan Vs Juventus Transfer Battle

Inter chief executive Piero Ausilio has been in constant contact with David’s entourage, Nick Mavromaras.

The agent has conveyed his client’s lofty salary demands.

Indeed, David asks for a five-year contract worth around €6 million per season.

On top of that, he requests a double-digit package in commissions and signing bonuses.

Despite his undeniable qualities, such prohibitive terms could deter numerous potential suitors.

It’s hard to expect Barcelona to be able to meet David’s wages.

Meanwhile, Inter would only go to such great lengths if they were to sell Marcus Thuram.

The French striker has a host of admirers across the continent, with Paris Saint-Germain leading the chase.

As for Juventus, they’d rely on David’s friendship with Timothy Weah to lure him to Turin.

However, Tajon Buchanan shares the dressing room with the ex-Gent star in the national team.

It could tip the scales in Inter’s favor.
