LOSC’s top scorer this season (23 goals in 40 matches in all competitions), Jonathan David has the opportunity to make this exercise even more brilliant during the quarter-final second leg of the Europa Conference League against Aston Villa this Thursday. Lille has no choice after its first leg defeat (2-1) and must win to reach the last four. It will perhaps also be the last major meeting for the Canadian striker after 4 seasons in the North of France. “Frankly, I really don’t think about it, even if in previous years there have been rumors”he said in recent hours.
At the end of his contract in 2025, David should indeed leave this summer, after having already been announced as leaving last year. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the matter would even be well advanced with Naples since an agreement with the player’s entourage is close on the basis of a 5-year contract accompanied by a salary of €3 million, or triple what he earns in Lille. On the other hand, it will be necessary to reach an agreement with the Mastiffs, who demanded €50 million last year. Aurelio de Laurentiis thinks he will find common ground around €35 million in addition to bonuses for the man who would then become the successor to Victor Osimhen, also a former Lille player, and on the departure.
