Soon at the end of his contract, Jonathan David has a good chance of leaving Lille next summer. LOSC will have difficulty meeting the salary demands of its attacker. Instead of insisting, the northern club is starting to prepare its succession and perhaps holds the rare pearl in Belgium.
For the greats of Europe, Jonathan David represents a golden opportunity. The LOSC striker continues to pile up the goals as he approaches the end of his contract next summer. His situation has not escaped Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United in England. Nor at Juventus Turin, the last opponent of the Mastiffs (1-1) in the Champions League, a match in which the Canadian international scored on Tuesday. This tough competition can allow Jonathan David to claim a comfortable salary that is incompatible with the finances of Lille, which is trying to extend it.
David leaving
« I hope I can convince him to stayconfided LOSC co-owner Alessandro Barnaba this week to La Gazzetta dello Sport. At the same time, some salaries are beyond our reach. And beyond the end of his contract, we always let go those who received important offers. » It is not difficult to understand that the northern club is off to a bad start. Jonathan David could even be transferred this winter in the event of an interesting offer.
It is no coincidence that the Ligue 1 resident is already preparing the succession of his top scorer. In fact, the journalist Sacha Tavolieri tells us that Lille is interested in Kévin Denkey (23 years old). Lille management has started discussions for the transfer of the striker from Cercle Bruges, a Belgian club owned by Monaco owner Dimitri Rybolovlev. But the price demanded for the Togolese would be considered too high. Note that the center forward, author of 11 goals this season in all competitions, is estimated at 26 million euros, his lease expiring in 2026.
