Current top scorer in Ligue 1, Jonathan David shines with Lille and logically attracts the attention of major European clubs. With his contract expiring next June, the Canadian striker finds himself at the heart of multiple transfer rumors. Barcelona is in pole position in his mind, but the wait-and-see attitude of the Catalan leaders could change the situation.
Barcelona hesitates, Tottenham gets active
According to information reported by the daily Sport, Jonathan David wishes to quickly clarify his future. Barcelona appears as his priority choice, but the lack of initiative from the Catalan club, particularly from its sporting director Deco and coach Hansi Flick, raises questions. Although they appreciate David’s profile, they hesitate to take action, leaving the player in uncertainty.
At the same time, Tottenham did not wait to draw out an ambitious offer. Spurs are offering a lucrative contract that could distract the Canadian striker from his Barcelona dream. A delicate situation for Barça, forced to accelerate under penalty of losing a high quality target.
Well calculated pressure
Faced with Barça’s indecision, Jonathan David plays his cards skillfully. The player has already refused several extension offers from Lille and wants to play in a club that matches his ambitions. With his status as top scorer in the French championship, the Canadian could receive even more offers by the end of the season.
For Barcelona, time is running out. Jonathan David no longer hides his impatience and could very well choose another project if the Blaugrana are slow to come forward. The next few weeks promise to be decisive.
