Napoli to sign this player as Chelsea’s target replacement

Italian Serie A club Napoli have been lined with moves to sign Lille’s Jonathan David as a potential replacement for their striker Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with a possible departure from the club this summer.

According to Il Mattino, the Naples president Aurelio de Laurentiis is tempted by striking another deal with Lille for a striker if Osimhen decides to leave and if a potential suitor ends up offering the €160 million that the club currently want.

De Laurentiis is said to want players from Asia and the Americas and David fits the bill, with the move still very much in the preliminary stages.

While De Laurentiis wants to keep the likes of Osimhen and Kim Min-Jae, he understands that the temptations from the Premier League could prove to be too much at some points in the summer.

The report further revealed that aside from David, Atalanta’s Rasmus Højlund and Sassuolo’s Armand Lauriente are also on Napoli’s target list.
