Lille striker Jonathan David has admitted he dreams of Barcelona as he prepares to enter the final six months of his contract in France.
David, 24, has been linked to a blockbuster for some time transfer but he finally looks set to change clubs next summer when his deal with Lille expires. Most of Europe’s elite have been linked with the Canadian international, and that interest is only growing as he hits the free agent market.
A number of Premier League teams have looked at Davidwho has admitted his interest in moving to England in the past, but it is Barcelona that holds a special place in his heart.
“(Barcelona) was always the team I grew up supporting,” he said The Athletic. “When you grow up supporting a team, it’s your dream to play with them.”
Barcelona were linked with David earlier this summer, targeting the prolific forward as a potential bargain during their search for cover for Robert Lewandowski who, while still scoring at a ridiculous rate, turned 36 in August and is clearly in the twilight of his career.
The likes of arsenal, Chelsea i Manchester United all have been linked to David recently, while Florian Plettenberg revealed Bayern Munich’s interest in reuniting him with international team-mate Alphonso Davies.
David joined Lille in the summer of 2020 and has scored 97 goals in 202 games for the club, regularly finishing at the top of the Ligue 1 goalscoring charts and even helping to lift the league title in 2020/ 21.
