FC Barcelona would have consulted the name of another star for its 2025 summer transfer market. After Jonathan David, Barça would like to offer itself a renowned defender from Chelsea.
FC Barcelona is preparing the rejuvenation of its eleven. Givemesport announces that it has contacted a Chelsea star to reinforce the squad next season. Reece James would be one of Barça’s priority objectives for the summer of 2025. The Blues captain has a contract until June 2028 but has been dealing with injuries for several years.
His training club would have tired of offering him an astonishing salary for a pittance of playing time. The CFC physiotherapists even advised him to move to a hot city in Europe to regain his best sensations. The London cold would not allow him to stabilize his physical condition. Barcelona thus smelled of good business, as did SL Benfica.

Barça would also have checked the name of Jonathan David. The Canadian international is expected to leave LOSC free of contract next summer. His profile would be of great interest to Joan Laporta and Deco due to his experience and his ability to combine in small spaces. He would have the DNA to integrate into the Blaugrana and the Catalan leadership.
David would spend a first season as Robert Lewandowski’s deputy before becoming the official starter in 2026 after his departure. An exciting project for the Lille pyrotechnician whose market value is estimated at 45 million euros.
