Manna caught off guard by rivals’ insertion: azure slows, bomber no closer
Napoli is preparing to defend the tricolor with the same hunger with which it won it. An ambitious market, targeted reinforcements and a team capable of staying at the top: these are the promises of De Laurentiis to coach Conte.
But just as plans for the future take shape, a name that has been circulating for months on the Neapolitans’ notebook seems destined to take other paths. We are talking about Jonathan David, a Canadian striker born in 2000 who is leaving Lille on a zero-parameter basis.
David-Napoli, brusca frenata: Inter e Juve si inseriscono
David’s profile has long been in the sights of several Italian bigwigs, and Napoli had been among the first to move with conviction. Now, however, the situation has changed.

As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus has strongly entered the race to secure the Canadian center forward. With the Club World Cup just around the corner and Igor Tudor already at work on the field, the Bianconeri management, now led by new general manager Damien Comolli, does not want to waste any time.
Contacts with the player’s entourage are continuous and intense. The goal is clear: to close the deal as soon as possible, include him in the new project and ensure the coach an extra weapon in attack.
But there is more: Inter is also considering the possibility of inserting itself. La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms that the Nerazzurri would be ready to match the partenopei’s economic offer, but it remains all in the hands of the player. It will be up to Jonathan David to choose who will give him the space, the project and the confidence to make the final leap.
David, è corsa a tre: la palla passa al calciatore
Napoli, which had submitted an offer of about 5 million euros net per season, now seems more defiled. The blue focus has shifted to other names and other departments.

And while Inter considers the possibility of inserting itself, but without giving the impression of wanting to sink the blow right away, it is Juventus that leads the line decisively.
David finished the season in Ligue 1 with important numbers. In a European soccer increasingly hungry for modern forwards capable of moving without giving points of reference, the Canadian represents a super intriguing bet.
Napoli has long courted him, but David’s future could be tinged with bianconero, or even nerazzurro. As always in the market, only time will reveal the truth.
