Jonathan David on the road to European superpower

Jonathan David is living his last months at Lille OSC. The Canadian striker is expected to leave the French club in 2025 and many clubs are looking for his signature.

David will be one of the most popular players in Europe. David is 24 years old and it is still a mystery why he is still playing for Lille. He has done very well there for years and this season he is outstanding again with 13 goals and 2 assists in 18 games. Enough to pique interest.

Juventus interested in David

The Italian media know that Juventus are very interested in David. Juventus would like to lure him in January, but Lille would still want between 15 and 20 million euros. It doesn’t seem like much, but the striker will be at the end of his contract with the French next summer. It’s that or nothing.

But Juventus have to put their hand in their pocket for David no matter what. There is the transfer fee, but David’s agent wants a commission of 7-8 million euros and the former Ghent player wants to earn 5 million euros per year. So these are huge sums and Juventus don’t have much margin financially.

The big game

But if they want to attract him, January seems to be the best time. In fact, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal also want to hire him. So we must expect a new fierce battle to get David’s name.

The latter has already worn the jerseys of Ghent and Lille in Europe, with a total of 284 games for those two clubs, when he scored 134 goals and provided 35 assists. These are very good numbers.
