Napoli Line Up Victor Osimhen Replacement as Jonathan David Nears Move
Napoli is actively preparing for the potential departure of star striker Victor Osimhen by nearing a deal for Canadian forward Jonathan David of Lille.
David Agrees to Terms with Napoli
David, 24, has entered the final year of his contract with Lille and appears ready for a new challenge. He has reportedly agreed to a five-year contract with Napoli, with a net salary of around €3 million per season. This move would significantly boost Napoli’s attacking options for the upcoming season.
Competition for David’s Signature
While David seems interested in Napoli, they are not the only club vying for his services. Serie A rivals AC Milan are also keen on acquiring the Canadian forward, especially with Olivier Giroud expected to leave for Major League Soccer. Napoli will need to finalize a transfer fee with Lille to secure David definitively.
Negotiations with Lille Remain
Although David’s personal agreement paves the way for the transfer, a key hurdle remains. Lille reportedly wants around €45 million for their star forward, whereas Napoli’s current offer sits roughly €10 million below that valuation. Both Napoli and David face competition from Premier League clubs potentially interested in the striker.
Napoli Looks to Bolster Attack
With David’s potential arrival, Napoli seeks to address their need for a strong attacking presence. He would be a valuable addition, potentially filling the void left by a departing Osimhen and strengthening the squad for upcoming challenges. Negotiations with Lille are ongoing, and Napoli remains determined to close the deal and solidify their attack for the next season.
Will Osimhen leave Napoli in the next transfer window?
