Despite the doubts existing from the top brass regarding his possible signing, FC Barcelona continues to closely monitor Jonathan David. For his incredible performance this season (15 goals in 22 games), for his goalscoring ability and, above all, for the opportunity to sign him as a free agent at the end of the season.
The Canadian ends his contract with Lille on June 30, 2025 and has no intention of extending his stay in France, becoming one of the 'bargains' of the summer. However, his signing would not be free by any means. In fact, it is estimated that the operation will amount to 80 million euros between his salary for 4 years, the signing bonus and the commission derived from the signing.
Barça doubts... and Inter presses
A figure that, beyond not being unreasonable, generates some misgivings at Can Barça, where they do not see it clear to pay this amount for a player who will not be an undisputed starter. A situation that could be taken advantage of by other clubs also interested in David, with Inter Milan being the one that would bet the most on the arrival of the American.
According to 'Calciomercato', the Italians know that the operation of the striker will be expensive, so they intend to counter it with the sales of Correa and Arnautovic, which would allow the club to save their salaries to address his signing. The doubts of the Blaugranas would be making them lose ground in the 'bid' for the scorer, whose future could be at the Giuseppe Meazza.
