Napoli extends Canadian striker Jonathan David's contract, securing his services until 2029 for an annual salary of 6 million euros.
Napoli and Forward Jonathan David Nearing Agreement
Napoli is reportedly on the verge of securing the services of Canadian forward Jonathan David, who is a free agent at the end of June. According to Corriere dello Sport, the club has reached a verbal agreement with the 25-year-old striker, aiming to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
David, who played 49 games for Lille last season, scoring 25 goals and providing 12 assists, is considering Napoli as one of his career continuation options. Negotiations between the parties are currently ongoing, with the player's expected salary being €6 million per year.
However, interest in the versatile forward does not only come from Napoli. Juventus and Inter Milan are also actively vying for his signature, joining a list of potential suitors that includes Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Barcelona.
Despite the competition, reports suggest that David has expressed a preference for Napoli, though the Turin-based club remains active in their pursuit. Napoli director Manna allegedly has the agreement 'in his hands.'
As a free agent, David's transfer value might be inflated by signing bonuses and agent fees, potentially exceeding €30 million. Regardless, securing his services would be a significant investment for any club interested in acquiring his talents.
