Jonathan David has been one of the standout forwards in Europe so far this season. With 17 goals and 5 assists in 26 matches, the Canadian from Lille has shown impressive efficiency in front of goal. However, despite his name being rumored as a possible reinforcement for FC Barcelona, the interest from the Blaugrana club seems to have cooled off.
At 24 years old, David combines youth, European experience, and a contract expiring in June 2025, making him an attractive prospect in the transfer market. Additionally, the player has not hidden his desire to wear the Blaugrana jersey, stating that playing for Barça would be a "dream." Nevertheless, in the offices of Camp Nou, he is seen as a forward who does not entirely fit the playing style the club is seeking.
Other options being considered at Barcelona
Although Barcelona's scouting department has closely monitored his progress, doubts remain as to whether David's profile aligns with the Blaugrana model, as reported by MundoDeportivo. His style, more focused on exploiting spaces and with a strong physique, contrasts with the technical and associative qualities that Barça prioritizes in their forwards. Additionally, the club already has Vitor Roque, signed specifically as the backup for Robert Lewandowski, who is currently on loan at Betis.
Jonathan David has drawn the attention of other major European clubs due to his goal-scoring ability, including his standout performances against teams like Real Madrid and Atlético in the Champions League. However, unless there is a radical change, his future seems to lie away from Barcelona, which continues to explore other more suitable options to strengthen their attack in the near future.
