The race for Jonathan David is entering its final stretch, and all signs point to Bayern Munich gaining an advantage over the rest of the competitors. The Canadian forward from Lille, who will become a free agent in June after the end of his contract, is on the radar of several top clubs in Europe, including Barcelona and significant teams in the Premier League like Tottenham. However, the Bavarian team has ramped up negotiations to bring in the player and appears close to securing his signing.

As reported by 'Bild,' Bayern sees David as an ideal complement to Harry Kane. The club's plan is to have a quality backup forward that allows for rotations without sacrificing goal-scoring ability or international experience. Despite considering other options such as Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon, the Munich board views the Canadian as a more balanced choice both in sporting terms and economically.

Meanwhile, Barcelona has closely followed Jonathan David since last season. The striker even publicly expressed his interest in playing at Camp Nou, demonstrating willingness to adapt to a secondary role behind Robert Lewandowski. However, the Barça sporting direction has doubts about whether his style of play, based on exploiting spaces and speed, fits the team's associative philosophy. Additionally, the club relies on the development of internal players like Ferran Torres or Pau Víctor, putting the arrival of a new forward on the back burner.

With Bayern's strong commitment and Barcelona's hesitations, everything indicates that the Canadian will swap Lille for Munich, moving away from his dream of wearing the Blaugrana colors. The final decision rests with the player himself, but time seems to be in favor of the Germans.
