The signing that Antonio Conte has requested from Napoli for the return to the Champions League

With Napoli deeply involved in an exciting final stretch of the championship race for the Scudetto, plans for the upcoming season are starting to take shape. The board, led by Aurelio De Laurentiis and Giovanni Manna, is already laying the groundwork to strengthen the team for the eagerly anticipated return to the Champions League. One name that has gained momentum in recent hours is that of the Canadian forward Jonathan David, currently playing for Lille.

According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, Antonio Conte would have directly identified the striker as his priority for the attack. The coach, whose continuity beyond the summer is not yet guaranteed, would be willing to stay if certain conditions are met, including the signing of the North American forward.

An opportunity in the market that Napoli cannot afford to miss

David, who will become a free agent as of July 1, represents a golden opportunity for the Neapolitan club. His acquisition would not involve a transfer fee, although negotiations on commissions and bonuses with his representatives would be necessary, as the Napoli leadership has already been in contact with them. Manna would have extended an invitation to the player's agents to meet with De Laurentiis, thus taking the first formal step towards a possible signing.

While there are other options on the table such as Lorenzo Lucca, Ange-Yoan Bonny, or even Rasmus Højlund, Jonathan David's profile fits perfectly with Conte's playing style for his team. Discussions are already underway, and Napoli hopes to get ahead of the competition in order to secure the new offensive focal point as soon as possible.
