Lille striker Jonathan David will be free from any contract at the end of his contract at the end of June. However, clubs interested in the Canadian striker should know that this does not mean that it will be cheap.

Several clubs are currently planning to recruit the 25 -year -old striker, who has impressed in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League with Lille this season. But any transfer will have a high price, as inter -Milan learned.

The Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Nerazzurri took the first step to recruit David for free this summer, offering him a five -year contract worth 5 million euros per year.

But it is far from the value that the attacker has set himself. He wishes a contract of 8 million euros per year, plus a bonus at the signing of 10 million euros. In total, it targets a transfer of 50 million euros to Inter.

Jonathan David has an interesting option

David's contractual requirements seem to push him to the Premier League, where six clubs follow his file Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle United all wish to offer the attacker, according to I Sport, but rumors also circulate on the Arsenal potential.

Despite its apparently generous requirements, a total envelope of 50 million euros remains relatively modest for a center-forward of its level. In many cases, this amount would only cover part of the transfer compensation for such a player, all these teams that have spent similar sums for a number 9 in recent years.

David, on the other hand, told CBS Sports that he wanted to evolve at the top of football. “” If I go, I have to give myself to play at the highest level ”he said. “”
Afterwards, obviously, when you play in a big club, you are never guaranteed to be established and you have to fight. I'm never sure I’m holding or playing all the games. I must be efficient and I am ready to fight. »»

“” I know it's an important year, it's an important decision, so I will make a wise choice. The Canadian striker race has indeed been launched.
