Despite having cooled down recently, Jonathan David’s name still orbits Inter. The Canadian forward, as we’ve known for months, will leave Lille at the end of the season on a free transfer due to the expiration of his contract, and for this reason represents a huge market opportunity for many European clubs.
The real obstacle separating the Nerazzurri from the class of 2000 player, however, lies within Simone Inzaghi’s own lineup. As explained this morning by Tuttosport, David would open to Inter with the guarantee of being a full-fledged starting player. The current presence of Thuram alongside Lautaro Martinez, however, would make him a mere second choice.
What could open the gates of Appiano Gentile to him, therefore, might be the exit of one of the two forwards. In particular, clues point to the name of Marcus Thuram who has recently attracted the interest of two top English clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United. With a termination clause of 85 million euros, the French player cannot be considered untouchable by Inter.
