The Canadian, 24, has a contract until June 2025 and has yet to extend with his current club. This situation has been seen as a great opportunity by Barcelona’s board, who do not want to miss the chance to sign a striker with great potential without having to pay a transfer fee. Barça believe he will fit well into the team’s style of play and has the qualities to be important in the years to come.
Jonathan David’s strong season has piqued Hansi Flick’s interest
This season, David has shown his goalscoring flair both in the French league and in Europe. In Ligue 1, he has played 32 games and scored 16 goals, while in the Champions League he has made his mark with 7 goals in 10 group games. His ability to move across the entire attacking front, combined with speed and finishing strength, has made him a key player for Lille.
Although his current market value stands at around €45 million, the option to sign him for free at the end of his contract has put Barcelona on alert. Transfers like this are like gold for the Catalan club.
At Camp Nou, they already envision David as the attacking striker of the future – a young profile with hunger and European experience. If all goes as planned, the Canadian could soon don the blue-and-grey jersey and start a new chapter as one of the team’s mainstays.
