Jonathan David dispelled any uncertainty about his future by announcing that, despite Lille's efforts to prolong his contract, he would be leaving. Despite a poor start, the 25-year-old has already scored 20 goals and provided nine assists. In past months, he was frequently associated with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Inter.

If the Nerazzurri didn't lose one of their two stars—which they most likely won't—he would be a very high target. Although it would depend on his demands and the commission, it wouldn't be unexpected if they attempted given the poor performance of their other forwards. With the signing of Santiago Gimenez, Milan is no longer in the picture. Although they will need to make a deal with PSG, the Bianconeri have more clarity over the Dusan Vlahovic problem and have already identified his successor. It doesn't seem probable that they would transfer to Serie A, which would be a lost chance.
