DAZN: Milan want €50m-rated Lille star as agent fuels speculation

The agent of Lille striker Jonathan David has made it known that he is in Milano, amid the reports linking him with a move to AC Milan in the summer.

Milan have held interest in Jonathan David for several years, but they have never taken the final step in acquiring the Canadian. This summer, though, they may well have the opportunity to land him in a cut-price deal.

According to Orazio Accomando of DAZN, Milan and Napoli are interested in David. The Rossoneri have been following him since last year, while the Azzurri see him as the replacement for Victor Osimhen.

His agent is in Milano, as evidenced by the latest Instagram story, but Lille still value him at around €50m despite the fact that his contract is set to expire in June 2025, meaning he will be a year from the expiry of his deal come the end of the season.

The Canadian had a difficult start to the season, but he has had a real resurgence in 2024 as he now has 23 goals for the season across all competitions, plus seven assists.

The Canada international is only 24 years of age and has now racked up 81 goals in 175 appearances for Lille plus 16 assists, as well as 26 goals in 45 caps for his country.
