Although announced as leaving at the beginning of the summer, Jonathan David is still in Lille ten days before the end of the market.

If he has had an exit voucher since the start of the transfer window, like Leny Yoro transferred to Manchester United, Jonathan David remains a Lille player at this time. In the ranks of Losc, we are beginning to dream of a favorable outcome, and a fifth consecutive year among the Dogues for the Canadian striker already credited with 87 goals in 187 northern outings.

With ten days to go until the end of the summer transfer window, it is true that the departure options are dwindling – not to mention the replacement possibilities for Losc. I said last week that he could leave if, and only if, we were able to replace him.said President Létang during his last press briefing.

So, Jonathan David to OM? While the prospect is tempting for a Marseille club that has just lost its second-string centre-forward Faris Moumbagna, Elye Wahi’s expected replacement for the season, to injury, the reverse is not necessarily true. During his presentation, his teammate in the Canadian national team, Ismaël Koné, admitted that he had tried to attract the LOSC goal scorer to Marseille… In vain.
