Jonathan David Reveals Inter Milan Interest Before Choosing Juventus

Jonathan David confirmed that Inter Milan showed interest in signing him after his Lille exit, but he ultimately chose Juventus. Despite talks with his agent, negotiations with Inter never progressed deeply. Juventus retained Dusan Vlahovic and added David to strengthen their attack. Fans remain divided on whether both strikers can thrive together under Igor Tudor.

As the summer transfer window unfolded, Jonathan David became one of the most sought-after free agents in Europe after running down his contract with Lille. Eligible to negotiate from January, the Canadian striker drew interest from several top clubs, including Inter Milan, but ultimately chose Juventus. His decision was influenced by the Turin club’s project and long-term vision, making his arrival a significant boost for their attacking depth.

Juventus had been weighing up the future of Dusan Vlahovic, but with no suitable offers arriving for the Serbian striker, he has remained at the club. This has sparked debate about whether David and Vlahovic could form a strike partnership, though new head coach Igor Tudor has not seriously considered starting them together so far.

Inter Milan had closely monitored David for months, fueling speculation of a possible switch, but the forward clarified that talks never went beyond early discussions. Speaking via Calciomercato, he confirmed: “Not that close. I’ve had discussions with my agent, but they haven’t been in-depth. I’m very happy at Juventus.”
