It’s no longer a secret, Jonathan David secretly dreams of joining FC Barcelona. In an interview given to The Athletic, the LOSC striker confided that he had been a fervent supporter of the Catalan club during his childhood.
“Barcelona was the team I supported growing up. When you grow up supporting a team, it’s your dream to play for them,” he declared. And if we believe the information from SportBarça is not insensitive to the situation of the Canadian international, whose contract with Lille expires next June.
A risky investment for Barça
While everything seems to indicate that the former La Gantoise is heading towards a free departure next summer, the Spanish daily reveals that the Blaugranas have studied the possibility of recruiting him. However, several major obstacles stand in the way of Jonathan David’s possible arrival at Camp Nou.
On the one hand, the 24-year-old striker is coveted by several Premier League clubs, who have already made concrete offers to his agents. On the other hand, the Barcelona management would have to pay nearly 80 million euros to secure his services over four years, taking into account salaries, bonuses and commissions.
Given its delicate financial situation, the Catalan club must think carefully about such an investment. Especially since the Canucks star would risk playing a secondary role, as Robert Lewandowski’s understudy at center forward.
