In clear words, Lille striker Jonathan David confirmed that his biggest dream in football is to join Barcelona, after which rumors began immediately about the possibility of his arrival at Camp Nou.
The 24-year-old striker still has a contract with Lille until the summer of 2025, however, it was said that Barça may try to sign him in the winter or next summer.
The Catalan newspaper “Sport” responded to these rumors by confirming that the Barcelona administration may be interested in signing David, but the biggest obstacle is the financial aspect.
In principle, it is completely unlikely that Barcelona will try to sign David in the winter as was rumored, as the Catalan club already cannot register its player Dani Olmo, and there will be no margin for signing a new player.
As for next summer, David is considered, after his statements and given his distinguished levels in the French League in recent years, as a good option to be the successor to Robert Lewandowski.
The Polish international will not leave next summer and will continue for another year with Barça, but there is a clear intention on the part of the Barcelona management to sign a new striker to prepare him to succeed Lewa.
As for David, signing him from Lille and giving him the salary he wants would cost Barcelona at least 80 million euros over 4 years, which is the only obstacle to completing the deal.
However, there are many hopes that this value will be reduced in one way or another in light of the player’s great desire to wear the Barça shirt.
It is worth noting that the Canadian international has played 19 matches this season in all competitions, during which he scored 13 goals and made two others.
