David has been linked with a move to Serie A, with Juventus, Inter, and Napoli interested. However, Barcelona and Newcastle have also been monitoring the player for several months.
A recent report from Sky Sport CH claimed that signing David would still cost €34m, considering his salary, signing bonus and agent fees.
According to Matteo Moretto, Napoli have already submitted a verbal proposal to the Canadian star, who has netted 25 goals in 48 appearances across all competitions this term.
Newcastle and Barcelona have asked for information about the player, and David admitted this past November that playing for the Blaugrana would be a dream come true, as they are the club he grew up watching.
