Last Tuesday, we covered claims from Italy which stated Newcastle United are in a three-way battle with Juventus and Inter Milan for Lille star Jonathan David.
At the weekend, Sport reported the Magpies are posing as a threat for Barcelona to sign the 24-year-old.
Sport Mediaset now provides the latest on Inter, Newcastle and the La Liga side’s interest in the striker.
The Canada international has a deal expiring at the end of this season and there are no signs of him signing an extension. He has also starred for the Ligue 1 side, scoring eight goals and registering two assists from 13 games this season.
Simone Inzaghi’s side have taken the first steps to try and sign him on a free transfer next summer, by initiating contacts with his entourage. His salary and agent commission could probably be an issue for the Serie A winners.
The Nerazzurri will also have to deal with competition from Newcastle and Barca as these two clubs are in the picture to sign him. The Catalan club have struggled financially over the past few years.
Newcastle’s finances could give them an advantage to get ahead of Inter and Barcelona in the race to sign David.
