Juventus Vs Inter Milan for Canada FIFA World Cup Star – Scouts Present For Champions League Clash
Juventus and Inter Milan are ready to do battle to sign Jonathan David, and will be watching him in an upcoming Champions League clash.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They note that the Bianconeri will soon get a very close look at the Canadian centre-forward.
Lille and Canada striker David is all but certain to be one of the major free transfer opportunities next summer.
The 24-year-old’s current contract with Lille runs until the end of next June.
And there has been no indication that David would plan on signing an extension.
Therefore, David should be available on a free transfer when his deal expires.
And that is causing a lot of clubs in Europe to sit up and take note.
A good deal of the interest has centred around Serie A.
Juventus reportedly consider David as a potential target. But above all, it has been Inter who have been eyeing up a move for the Canadian.
The Nerazzurri’s propensity to seize upon free transfer opportunities is hardly a secret.
And David would certainly be another major coup in that respect.
Inter & Juventus Gearing Up For Jonathan David Transfer Battle
But Inter are hardly the only team to have taken a big interest in David’s signature.
In the Italian top flight, Inter’s Derby d’Italia rivals Juventus are also targeting the Canadian.
The Bianconeri are looking to bolster in attack with backup, competition, or even a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic.
And David is foremost among the targets for the Turin-based giants. Particularly considering his availability on a free transfer.
Juventus will be coming face-to-face with David this coming week. They take on Lille in the Champions League.
The 24-year-old has been in fine goalscoring form this season.
And if David can hurt Juventus in the Champions League, it could make them all the more determined to sign him.
But Inter remain vigilant. They also see David as a major transfer opportunity for the future of their attack.
Therefore, the Neazzurri will also be keeping a keen eye on the Canadian international.
