While the Canadian international’s contract expires next summer, the northern club intend to keep him.
Jonathan David‘s future at LOSC is still in doubt. When his contract expires next June, the Canadian striker will attract the attention of a number of big European names, including Juventus, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, according to the
Corriere dello Spórs.
Rumors even suggest a move this winter, allowing the northern club to recoup money. A hypothesis however put aside by Olivier Létang, president of the Dogues.
The final decision rests with Jonathan David
“Jonathan’s situation is very simple. We are very happy to have you with us. Last season, he had one year left on his contract. We could qualify for the Champions League. When you have a guy who scores 20-25 goals a season… We were under no obligation to sell him. In addition, we did not receive any offer. Our position was very clear from the start, we thought about fun. “he declared RMC.
The Lille manager confirmed the club’s desire to extend the Brooklynite’s lease. “In fact, Jonathan already has an offer (for an extension, editor’s note) in hand. The ball is in his court. We have a lot of conversations about him being able to stay with us. He will not leave in January. He will stay with us because he is an important player. He will stay because in May we have goals. When you have a player who scores 20-25 goals, who qualifies for the Champions League at the end of the season, that balances a move that didn’t happen.he concluded.
