Jonathan David, the 24-year-old Canadian striker, stands out this season with his impressive performances. With 17 goals and 5 assists in 26 matches with Lille, the Dogues striker has established himself as one of the most effective attackers in Europe. At the end of his contract in June 2025, David has the added advantage of being able to freely negotiate his future from January 1. Arriving in 2020 from La Gantoise for 27 million euros, David is now close to a hundred goals in four seasons in the North, to which are added 31 achievements in 59 caps with Canada.
David, not a priority need for Barça
For several weeks, we have known that Barça has carefully followed its development. His statements, saying that playing for Barça is his “dream”, were well received. However, according to Mundo Deportivo, despite his strengths, Barcelona recruiters believe that his profile is not perfectly suited to the club’s style of play.
David, a powerful and efficient striker in space, aspires to become a starter in a major European club. However, Barça has already invested in Vitor Roque to support Robert Lewandowski, making the arrival of David less of a priority. Despite his potential and the absence of a transfer fee, apart from a signing bonus, Barça’s initial interest in Jonathan David has cooled, with the club judging that he does not exactly match their current strategic needs.
