David chose: a European champion to welcome him
The outcome seems favorable, but the transfer is not yet official. If Jonathan David confirmed his departure from Lille, no contract has yet been signed. The discussions are on the right track, and Naples hopes to finalize the operation in the coming days. The interest of other clubs, such as Barça or Atlético, has not yet been materialized. For its part, the LOSC is already hard at work to compensate for the loss of its top scorer, and another Lille player, Edon Zhegrova, is also in the Neapolitan viewfinder.
Arrived in 2020, Jonathan David will have marked his visit to the north of France. Top scorer of the club on several occasions, he contributed to the title of 2021 and to beautiful European campaigns. At 24, he crosses a new CAP and now targets a more exposed challenge. For Lille, this departure is a page that turns, but also the opportunity to initiate a new offensive cycle.
