However, they instead invested in the likes of Aleksander Sorloth and Julian Alvarez.Meanwhile, Aston Villa also considered bringing David to the Premier League.Then, in Serie A, there were a few teams who were monitoring David.One was Inter. The Nerazzurri had considered the Canadian as a prospective replacement if they were to receive an offer for Marcus Thuram that they considered impossible to turn down.Then, Napoli and AC Milan also considered David as a target, had they missed out on their priority targets Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata respectively.

Despite his interest, David remained in Lille. His contract with the Ligue 1 club expires at the end of next June. It appears like David will leave Lille on a free transfer next summer. Inter have already expressed their interest in signing the Canadian. According to FCIN, Inter do not just regard David as a successor in case they sell a striker for a high price next summer. On the contrary, the outlet believes Inter will try to recruit the Canadian to replace the departing Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa.

Given that it would be a free transfer, the Nerazzurri would have financial resources to pursue it. Even with the cost of agent commissions and the lack of the Growth Decree on David’s pay, Inter could afford to invest €3.5-4 million nett per season in wages. And Nerazzurri owners Oaktree Capital would be open to signing David. The Canadian would turn 25 next summer, which fits the owners’ desired age range. However, Inter would face stiff competition for David’s signature. According to FCIN, Premier League side Villa are still keeping an eye on the 24-year-old.

And then Juventus might compete with Inter in Serie A. The Bianconeri’s interest in David is most likely dependant on the future of striker Dusan Vlahovic.
