Jonathan David will be one of the big names in the 2025 transfer window. The Canadian striker's contract with Lille is up at the end of the season and, in the face of rumours that he will not renew with the French side, several of the big European clubs, including FC Barcelona, are closely following his situation.
His 13 goals in 19 games so far this season make him one of the 'bargains' on the market, and the footballer has spoken out about it in an interview with 'The Athletic', in which, in addition to analysing his style of play, he confessed his fanaticism for the team managed by Hansi Flick.
David's declaration of love for Barça
"I can adapt to many systems, I've played with two forwards, as a single striker. But I would prefer to have that freedom to move, to be a bit everywhere. In that sense, I can take the attention off myself and find the space to make the difference," said David, before revealing his sympathy for Barça.
"It was always the team I grew up with. When you grow up supporting a team, your dream is to play for them"
A statement that will not go unnoticed in Barcelona, where they seem to be taking the lead in a 'bidding' that also includes clubs such as Juventus, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich. Although the Catalans' priority would be the signing of Erling Haaland or Viktor Gyökeres, David's desire makes him a more than attractive alternative if the Nordic team's operations ultimately become unaffordable for the club.
