Speaking to MilanNews.it, France Bleu Nord’s colleague, Charley Sylvain, spoke about Jonathan David, the protagonist in Lille and among the attackers monitored by Milan. The Canadian will see his contract expire in 2025 and it could be a great deal.
Jonathan David has shown himself in Lille in recent years. What can you tell us about him? Will we see a path similar to that of Osimhen, also launched in Northern France?
“I don’t know if he will follow the same path as Osimhen, also because the Nigerian is another type of player, more spectacular. Osimhen is a striker who likes to be talked about a lot, he has a lot of ego. I think Jonathan David is a player who he acts more in the shadows, he is a striker who likes to let his teammates shine. Here, he is a striker who does not necessarily need statistics to be happy. Jonathan David remains the club’s top scorer to this day but sometimes he is capable of not score for several games. He reminds me a bit of Filippo Inzaghi, because he is a real fox in the penalty area and because we have no memories of his spectacular goals. He is often a player who finalizes the actions of his teammates very good guy, who you can invest in with your eyes closed. He doesn’t cause controversy, he’s a team player. Well, maybe not being spectacular he may not satisfy the tastes of the managers of Milan or other European clubs but if Paulo Fonseca moves it is possible that he will. want with you.”
What is being said about its future destination?
“I think he will leave this summer. His value on Transfermarkt is 50 million but Lille would be happy to be able to place him at 30-40. But given that he doesn’t have a very spectacular profile and today he only has a year left of contract if Lille managed to sell him for 20 million euros it would already be an excellent deal knowing that he arrived at the club in 2020 and that at the time he had cost more than 30 million euros, when he had cost 30 million euros, the largest transfer in the history of the club”.
