Bayern Munich wants to 'steal' from Barça one of its alternatives to reinforce the lead

Will FC Barcelona manage to sign the 24-year-old forward Jonathan David? At the moment, that seems to be an option growing more distant. Although the chances of securing the services of the Canadian seem quite feasible, considering the player's desire to join the Catalan team and that he could arrive as a free agent, as he does not seem to be on track to renew his contract with LOSC Lille, which ends on June 30, 2025, the reality is that the transaction could be more complicated than expected.

Firstly, as we recently mentioned in FCBN, the most obvious complication seemed to be Barcelona's doubts about acquiring Jonathan David, which would be mainly of a sporting nature. However, it has also been mentioned that the 'killer' has other teams interested in him that could close his signing in the upcoming winter transfer market starting in January. It must be remembered that although the Brooklyn native is still part of the French team, theoretically he would already be free to negotiate with any other team.

Bayern Munich wants to launch an offensive to sign Jonathan David

Now, it seems that one of the major European clubs has shown strong interest in the services of Jonathan David. According to the German media outlet 'BILD', Bayern Munich is seriously considering launching an offensive for the Canadian forward, seeing him as an ideal complement to Harry Kane, the undisputed starting '9' of the Bavarian squad.

The source asserts that Bayern Munich is clear about their desire to find a forward who is not a starter, as that role is well covered by the relentless English 'killer'. They are looking for a player with international experience who can be a game-changer in such a demanding season, and Jonathan David fits perfectly into that description, besides being an economically affordable option.

It will be interesting to see how this operation unfolds, as it will have to be considered whether Jonathan David would accept joining a top-level team like Bayern Munich without being an undisputed starter, a role he might find in other teams like Tottenham, who are also interested in him. In the case of Barcelona, where Robert Lewandowski is currently the top scorer (and could continue to be next season), it is very likely that the Canadian striker will also arrive as a substitute if he joins the Culé club.
