Canadian striker Jonathan David has recently revealed his admiration for FC Barcelona in an interview with WinamaxFC. Despite Barcelona’s ongoing financial troubles, the 23-year-old Lille record goalscorer expressed his lifelong dream of playing for the Catalan giants.
Barcelona’s financial troubles have been well-documented over the past season. The club’s inability to register Gavi’s new contract earlier this season is a testament to the challenges they face in signing new contracts. These constraints might make it difficult for Barcelona to acquire a talent like Jonathan David, who has been valued at €60.00m by Transfermarkt.
David has been a standout performer for Lille in Ligue 1, scoring 19 goals and providing four assists in just 27 appearances this season. The Canadian striker’s impressive form has caught the attention of clubs across Europe, including his childhood favorite, Barcelona.
Given Barcelona’s financial situation, a move for David may not be feasible at this time. The club is currently prioritizing the reduction of its debt and balancing its books. However, the striker’s dream of playing for Barcelona could become a reality in the future if the club manages to stabilize its finances and pursue new signings.
