Barcelona is reportedly interested in Canadian striker Jonathan David, who has caught attention due to rumors about his potential free transfer next summer. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has noted that David, currently with Lille, is expected to leave when his contract expires in June 2025.
This development has drawn interest from several top European clubs, including Arsenal and teams from Italy and England, all vying for his signature. Romano highlighted that the 24-year-old striker will consider various factors beyond just financial offers before making his decision.
In his latest update on The Debrief, Romano stated, âHe will think about many aspects, not just the moneyâthe project, the managersâso he wonât rush his choice. Heâs definitely in talks with several clubs, through his agent, including clubs in England, Italy, and Spain.â
Romano also mentioned that Jonathan David is one of the most sought-after players for the summer of 2025 and will take his time weighing his options, indicating that a decision isnât imminent.
A move to Barcelona could be a strategic choice, providing the club with a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who is nearing the end of his career at 36. David had a standout season last year, scoring 26 goals and making nine assists in 47 matches, showcasing his value.
Landing David on a free transfer would represent a low-risk, high-reward opportunity for Barcelona. His scoring ability and capacity to compete at a high level suggest he could vie for a starting role while also serving as an exciting future option for the clubâs attack.
