Inter is in the hunt for the Triplete but already working to reinforce the team for next season: 70 million for a new bomber, he is Marotta’s protégé

Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, better known as the ThuLa. It is they – above all – who have pushed Inter so far, to fight for the Triplete. First place in the league, Champions League quarterfinals against Bayern Munich – reduced really badly by injuries and whatnot – and Coppa Italia semifinals against AC Milan.
It can be a memorable, unforgettable season for the fans and the credit is primarily due to the two bombers, the Argentine and the Frenchman who seem to have been born to play together. They compensate and complement each other and Inzaghi gloats, as do Marotta and all the Nerazzurri fans. And behind them? The nothing or almost. That almost is Marko Arnautovic, who won the Triplete with Inter, all right.
He was little more than a kid and played for Mourinho’s Inter, the one of the “Invincibles.” His career then took other paths to return to Milan only last season. A luxury back-up, in recent weeks with heavy goals he is showing how much of a footballer he can be relied on. The Austrian unlocked the game against Udinese on Sunday, and that’s three goals in 11 appearances in this Serie A. Then the goal in the Champions League and the two goals in the Coppa Italia should be added.

Arnautovic, in short, luxury back-up while the great disappointment was undoubtedly Taremi. Arrived from Porto on a zero-parameter basis, between injuries and not up to the mark performances he never fully convinced Inzaghi. And so in view of next season also the offensive department will have to be reinforced: the Iranian may already say goodbye, as, moreover, will Correa while on Arnautovic nothing has been decided.

That is why Marotta is moving in that direction, on the hunt for a bomber who can raise the technical rate of the team. And the profile identified some time ago is Jonathan David, Lille’s Canadian bomber and Marotta’s protégé, who will be released at the end of the season on a zero-parameter basis. No contract renewal for the bomber who prefers to continue his career elsewhere.
Jonathan David, altro che parametro zero: cifre pazzesche per ingaggiarlo
As many as 14 goals in 25 Ligue 1 matches would be a real coup to be able to sign him. Yeah, too bad that while one does not have to shell out any euros for the cost of the card, his operation is anything but cheap. Jonathan David, in fact, is asking for nine million euros gross a year which, without the benefits of the growth decree, would be 4.6 net plus a 10 million euro commission.

Ended here? Not by a long shot. In fact, the Canadian is also asking for the signing bonus, which has now become customary, of about 15 million euros. In short, just for the one-year salary it would take 19 million, which becomes 34 including the one-time signing bonus.
If we multiply this on a five-year basis, well, the club that wants to sign David will have to budget a whopping 70 million euros, not exactly peanuts. That is why, perhaps, at the moment no foreign club is being pushed to sign him. Inter is watching, Juve too, well aware of how the investment would really be of great proportions.
