LOSC top scorer with 17 goals in all competitions, Jonathan David still does not know where he will play next season. Highly coveted, the Canadian international does not close the door to the Mastiffs.
The Jonathan David case has Lille supporters in suspense and it has been going on for several years. Top scorer for the northern club since his arrival from La Gantoise in 2020 for nearly 30 million euros, Jonathan David has aroused much desire summer after summer, without finding a way out. It must be said that Lille president Olivier Létang has always been very demanding with interested clubs on the price to pay to secure the services of the Brooklyn native.
The situation is now very simple for the 24-year-old striker, who has the choice between a free start next June in the club of his choice or an extension with LOSC. In recent weeks, the trend seems to be towards a departure but everything remains possible in this matter as confirmed by the main person concerned in an interview with La Voix du Nord, in particular opening the door to an extension with the current fourth of League 1.
Extend or leave, it’s “50-50” for David
« Like the president said it several times, there are discussions. We talk. Afterwards, no decision is made. We are talking. The door is never closed. It’s 50-50” promised Jonathan David, who seems ready to stay at LOSC even if his case arouses much desire. Big clubs in Europe and particularly in Spain have been associated with the Canadian international in recent weeks, including FC Barcelona which is hunting for free players to strengthen itself at a lower cost. One thing is certain in any case, as promised by Olivier Létang, there is no question of Jonathan David leaving in January. Everything will therefore be decided in this second part of the season for the future of the Lille striker.
