Jonathan David, a 24-year-old Canadian forward born in Brooklyn, is emerging as one of the most sought-after names in the transfer market. With a contract until next summer with Lille, the striker has made it clear that he is seeking a new challenge in his career, with his preference seeming to be clear: FC Barcelona.
The striker is not only one of the sensations in Ligue 1 but also in the Champions League, where he has already scored 4 goals in as many matches this season. His decisive goal against Real Madrid (1-0) in the group stage not only reaffirmed his ability to shine in crucial moments but also fueled his desire to move to an elite club.
According to 'The Athletic', Jonathan David doesn't hide his admiration for Barça. "I grew up supporting them. It has always been my dream to play there," he commented in a recent interview. His words leave no doubt about his intention to wear the blaugrana jersey and perhaps become the heir to Robert Lewandowski, who is approaching the final stretch of his career.
Other clubs are tempting him, but Jonathan David chooses Barcelona
With 13 goals in 19 matches in all competitions this season, the Canadian has shown his versatility on the field. "I like to have freedom of movement, to find spaces where I can make a difference," he explained. His style of play, which combines mobility, tactical intelligence, and an innate ability to finish, evokes the best moments of an early Karim Benzema, but with a unique personality that would fit perfectly into Barça's scheme.
Although clubs like Juventus, Inter, Bayern, and several Premier League teams are pursuing him, David's dream seems clear: to succeed at Camp Nou as Barcelona's new offensive reference.
