Jonathan David continues to attract suitors ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. In the Premier League, at least three teams have already entered the race to sign him as a free agent.
The future of Jonathan David strongly points to the Premier League. The U.S. international will leave LOSC Lille for free next summer and, according to the portal 'GiveMeSport', at least three English clubs are interested in signing him. They are: Manchester United, Arsenal, and Aston Villa, all three in need of adding a goalscorer for the 2024/25 season.
The 'red devils' have completed a disastrous season and, amid a plague of injuries, both Hojlund and Zirkzee have struggled to establish themselves as the team's '9'. The 'gunners', on the other hand, have also not found solutions in Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, while the Birmingham side is left with only Ollie Watkins after the surprising departure of Jhon Durán to Arabia. FC Barcelona, on the other hand, seems to have forgotten about the 25-year-old forward as a possible alternative to Robert Lewandowski.
Jonathan David could face Barça in the Champions quarter-finals
As rumors about what Jonathan David's next team will be increase, the 25-year-old forward continues to make solid strides with Lille in the Champions League. On Tuesday, the '9' provided an assist for his club to salvage a draw at the always tricky Signal Iduna Park against Borussia Dortmund (1-1). With this, Bruno Génésio's team is just one victory away from advancing to the quarter-finals, where they could face Barça.
The azulgrana team is well on its way to qualification after a hard-fought victory in Lisbon against Benfica (0-1) and, looking ahead to the next phase, the draw presents a very favorable outlook, although both Lille and Dortmund have performed very well in the tournament. The French side, in fact, advanced to the round of 16 within the TOP-8, securing victories in the group stage against Real Madrid (1-0) and Atlético de Madrid (1-3). In the case of their goalscorer, the Brooklyn native has 6 goals and 2 assists in the tournament. Will David be the main threat to Barça in the next Champions knockout round?
