Robert Lewandowski is having a great time at Barça this season. At 36, he has 22 goals and 2 assists in 20 games, figures that very few can match. His contract has an automatic renewal clause until 2026. There is one thing clear in the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou, however. He needs competition and a center forward capable of giving him a rest for next season. The chosen one is Jonathan David.
The arrival of Tah for zero euros is one step away from completion. Now the next objective for the culer team is to close the transfer of the Canadian Jonathan David as soon as possible. His contract also ends on June 30 and he could arrive for zero euros. This season he is shining in Lille, with 15 goals and 2 assists in 22 games. He particularly excelled in the European match against Real Madrid. At 24 years old, he's already made it clear that he is crazy to play for his beloved Barça.
In recent statements, Jonathan David shared his dream of wearing the Barça jersey. "It was always the team I supported when I was growing up. When you grow up supporting a team, it's a dream to play for them," he said. These words haven't gone unnoticed at Camp Nou, pointing to it as a real objective if the conditions are right.
There have already been talks between Jonathan David and his entourage and the Catalonian team. He is interested, but without asking for anything crazy that could destroy the salary scale. He is asking for a contract for the next four seasons, plus 80 million in that time period, including his salary, the transfer bonus and the commission to his agent. He does fits in at Barça, although they'll try to reduce this high amount.
Jonathan David to Join Barça in 2025: Lewandowski Has a Farewell Date
At Barça, it is clear that Jonathan David is the transfer that must be made for next season. He would arrive at 25 years of age, without having to pay a transfer fee and accepting a secondary role to start with. The Canadian feels the colors and would arrive to compete and give a rest to Robert Lewandowski, who will already be 37 by 2025.
The truth is that Robert Lewandowski has an expiration date at Barça. Despite his great campaign, everyone is aware that he has little time left to play at the top level. In 2025 he'll be 37 years old, and 38 in 2026. Precisely that year his contract with the blaugrana will be up: the last one he will have signed as a Barça player.
The idea is clear: Robert Lewandowski will see out his contract until 2026 and then be given a farewell with honors. The plan is to sign Jonathan David next summer for zero euros. Then when the Pole leaves, go for a top player for the offense.
