Aligned by Bruno Genesio to face Slavia Prague this Tuesday, Jonathan David could leave LOSC in the coming days.
The question has been fueling debate for many weeks in the North: will Jonathan David still wear the jersey of
Lille
September 1st? The outcome of this saga will inevitably determine LOSC’s season, as the Canadian striker has had a huge influence on the club’s performance since his arrival in 2020.
A week ago, Olivier Létang had expressed a certain optimism on RMC. “I’m not going to make promises today that I can’t keep, but it’s true that the further we go, the more likely it is that we’ll keep him with us.”
Lille: Jonathan David has a release voucher but…
The fact remains that Gonçalo Ramos’ injury in the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain has revived the hypothesis of recruiting a centre forward in the capital. And the name of Jonathan David, a sure bet in Ligue 1, is emerging as a credible alternative.
Officially, the Canadian had a release voucher. But the timing is problematic. “On Jonathan’s file, there are several things, recalled Olivier Létang. The first thing is that I said a few weeks ago, during Bruno’s (Genesio) presentation, that two players had a release date this year: Lenny Yoro (who left for Manchester United) and Jonathan David, both with a year left on their contracts. I said last week that he could leave if, and only if, we were able to replace him. The closer we get to the end of the transfer window, the more complicated it is to find a high-quality striker like Jonathan. We have the ability to keep him because we are not under pressure from an economic point of view. We are very happy to have him. He is very happy to be with us, very happy to be at the club, with what he is experiencing. I would say that anything is possible… Enough to fuel the end of the transfer window which promises to be lively.
