Bad news for Lille, the departure of Jonathan David for zero euros at the end of the season is no longer in doubt. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Canadian international was not going to extend in the North.
Five years after paying 27 million euros to recruit him from La Gantoise, Lille will lose Jonathan David for zero euros next June. The Canadian international is reaching the end of his contract, and no agreement has been reached for the extension of the 24-year-old striker, who will therefore leave free to join the club of his choice. A hard blow confirmed by Relevo as well as by Fabrizio Romano, and which will be detrimental for the finances of LOSC, which has sought to sell Jonathan David over the last two years… without finding a buyer.
With a free player status, we can legitimately think that the Canadian international (56 caps, 29 goals) will not lack offers. Saudi Arabia is notably in the running alongside FC Barcelona, which is looking for a substitute for Robert Lewandowski and who is very interested in the prospect of recruiting one of the best scorers in Ligue 1 at a reduced price. The player for his part should not be missed. At 24, he is at a turning point in his career and his choice will be crucial, after having shone for five years in Ligue 1 without ever confirming on the European scene.
