Jonathan David seems to have faded from the FC Barcelona horizon. The forward from Lille, one of the most promising goal scorers in European football, has his contract expiring on June 30, but despite being linked several times with the Catalan club, his signing is increasingly unlikely.
The Canadian striker has publicly expressed his desire to wear the Barça shirt; however, the Catalan club has not taken the final step. There is no unanimity from the sports management and coaching staff regarding his fit into the team's system. While his goal-scoring figures are impressive, his style of play, more effective in open spaces, does not entirely convince. In addition, his high wage demands, close to 8 million net per season, a figure that Barcelona, given its current financial situation and wage limit, is not in a position to meet.
His future is leaning towards Inter Milan
Meanwhile, other clubs are taking decisive actions. In recent days, the player's entourage has met with representatives from Inter Milan, who have already made a formal offer, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. Although the Italian proposal is economically lower than what he could receive in England, the Nerazzurri sports project could weigh in on his final decision. In the Premier League, West Ham emerges as the most interested club with the greatest capacity to meet the player's demands.
On the other hand, Barcelona has redirected its priorities towards finding a right-back and a left winger. With Robert Lewandowski renewed and Ferran Torres in good form, the arrival of a new center forward is ruled out, at least until 2026. Jonathan David, barring an unexpected turn, will not wear the blaugrana colors.
