Reports suggest that Napoli is nearing completion of a transfer agreement for forward Jonathan David (25). The Canadian international`s contract with Lille OSC is set to expire this summer, making him a free agent.
Earlier this month, sources like Fabrizio Romano indicated that Napoli represented the most concrete and advanced option for the player.
However, according to L’Équipe, other clubs including Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Juventus have also registered interest in signing David. The centre-forward has already played his final game for LOSC and has publicly confirmed he will leave the club.
Fabrizio Romano recently reported on anticipated new rounds of talks between David`s representatives and the newly crowned Serie A champions. Sky Sports News now understands that an agreement between David`s camp and Napoli is close. Despite this, Juventus has reportedly made a late move, contacting the player`s representatives in an eleventh-hour attempt to secure the transfer.
