Barcelona is facing growing doubts regarding the incorporation of Jonathan David as a possible reinforcement for the upcoming season, significantly cooling the chances of the Canadian forward joining Camp Nou. Initially seen as an interesting candidate to succeed Robert Lewandowski, concerns about his adaptation to the Blaugrana style of play have cast doubt on his signing.

From the sports management, led by Deco, and the coaching staff, headed by Hansi Flick, it is considered that the Lille forward could struggle in a context with limited spaces. The nature of Barça's game, regularly facing tight defenses, may not quite align with the characteristics of the North American attacker, who thrives in scenarios with more freedom of movement.

Jonathan David fails to convince

Although economically David would be a viable opportunity, as he could arrive cost-free —albeit with a high signing bonus—, the club does not seem convinced to prioritize his incorporation. This has led to other teams, like Tottenham, speeding up their efforts to secure the services of the striker.

David, on the other hand, is willing to await a resolution from Barcelona, but not indefinitely. With a tempting financial offer from Spurs on the table, the player could make a decision in the coming weeks if the Catalans do not clarify their stance.

With the transfer market drawing closer, Barça faces a dilemma: resolving their doubts and betting on David or losing a player who, while not a perfect fit for their system, could offer interesting attacking alternatives. For now, his arrival at Camp Nou seems distant.
