Jonathan David, two Serie A bigwigs ready to arm wrestle
A month from the expiration of the contract that binds him to Lille, Jonathan David is evaluating every option for his future, with two Serie A big names ready to compete to include the 25-year-old Canadian national in their roster: in addition to Juventus, which has repeatedly sounded the ground with the player’s entourage, there is also Napoli, which, according to reports by ‘Il Mattino’ would bet precisely on David to reinforce the offensive department.
Beyond any decision on the’coach, the sporting director of the partenopei, Giovanni Manna, is already at work to build Napoli 2025-2026, and he would be betting precisely on David to strengthen an attacking department that has sometimes suffered this season, as evidenced by the twenty goals scored less than Inter, the best attack in the championship that has just ended.
Jonathan David has just finished a 49-game season overall (32 in Ligue 1, 14 in the Champions League, 3 in the French Cup), with 16 goals scored in the French league and 9 in Europe’s top competition. His adventure at Lille lasted five seasons, with the icing on the cake of the’unexpected national title won in the 2020-2021 season.
The class of 2000 striker, born in Brooklyn to parents of Haitian origin and moved to Canada at an early age, had been discovered by Belgian side Gent, who made his professional debut in the 2018-2019 season. He’s among the protagonists of the recent development of the Canadian national team, which, after years of anonymity, participated in the World Cup in 2022 and is a constant protagonist in continental competitions.
