AC Milan remain convinced by the idea of investing in Jonathan David as they hope to reverse a negative trend from recent years in terms of striker signings.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen in the photo below), Milan believe that David is a ‘safe investment’ despite the fact he has just two goals in the league so far this season after netting 23 times last season.

Geoffrey Moncada and his team are sure that David has already proven his worth in Europe and with his national team. He was a protagonist in the victory of the 2020-21 league title win with Lille, along with Mike Maignan, and with his goals in the qualifiers he dragged Canada to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

He has the qualities and experience needed to complete the Rossoneri attack, and it must be said that the club have often had to sacrifice on one of those two things.

In recent years, players who have arrived at Milanello have either been too young (André Silva, Marko Lazetic, Pietro Pellegri among others) or did not have the right motivations (Gonzalo Higuain, Mario Mandzukic, Divock Origi among them).

Milan are aiming for a low-risk investment that can further enhance the squad. David would cost dearly, but the goals would repay the cost.
