David is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, running down his contract at Lille in hopes of securing a move to one of Europe’s elite sides.
Additional agent fees are said to amount to a further £8.3m, meaning the entire package needed to sign David would cost around £28m.
The striker has also been linked with summer moves to Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan.
The Canada international has been prolific for the French side this season, scoring 23 goals and providing ten assists in his 42 games across all competitions.
