Whisper+ Analysis
Authenticity (4/5): Realistic target
With David set to become a free agent this summer, Inter Milan are reportedly considering their chances to sign the enigmatic marksman as a long-term attacking reinforcement.
According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, the Nerazzurri are one of the teams keeping close tabs on the Canadian. Inter’s interest is seemingly legitimate and aligns well with their recruitment scheme of onboarding worthwhile free transfers.
Value (5/5): Proven goalscorer for free
At just 25, signing the Ligue 1 marksman on a free transfer makes this an absolute bargain. Securing a striker of his calibre without a transfer fee is a major coup.
Suitability (4.5/5): Ideal fit for Inzaghi’s plans
David’s pace, movement and finishing ability complement Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. His tactical intelligence allows him to press effectively, making him a seamless fit for Simone Inzaghi’s system.
Upgrade (4/5): Attacking depth
With Mehdi Taremi underwhelming and both Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa departing, Inter would benefit with the addition of David. The Canadian’s goal record – 107 goals in 223 appearances for Lille – speaks volumes.
Logic (4/5): Career-defining decision
David’s Champions League ambitions align well with Inter’s, but Premier League suitors could offer a more lucrative package. However, at Inter, he would directly step up in the footsteps of Martinez and Thuram.
Whisper+ Verdict: 21.5/25
Inter have a golden opportunity to land David on a free transfer, but they must act fast to fend off competitors. His pedigree in big matches and Serie A’s tactical nature could make Milan the perfect next step in his career.
