Barça are looking for a goalscorer for next season. The intention is for Lewandowski to continue wearing the Barça jersey until 2026, but they are looking for a player capable of giving him a rest when it is considered. The name that is being heard the most is that of Jonathan David, a well-known Barcelona player, who would be delighted to wear the FC Barcelona jersey .
But there's a problem with the possible arrival of Jonathan David: there's no consensus at Barça . He has been followed for months and, in addition to the reports not being as good as expected, his financial conditions are not helping either. Joan Laporta is asking him to make an effort to fulfill his dream because, if not, it will be impossible.
Jonathan David will leave Lille next summer, coinciding with the end of his contract on June 30. He already has strong offers on the table from the Premier League and in January there will be real negotiations. SPORT has given all the details of an operation that would mean a large outlay for Barça .
Neither Haaland, nor Gyökeres: Jonathan David for 80 Million
The aforementioned information indicates that the total cost of Jonathan David's arrival amounts to 80 million euros . This figure includes the player's salary for the next four seasons, as well as the transfer bonus and commission. He would not be an undisputed starter, which would entail a high cost for Barça.
No move has been made for the Canadian yet because there are doubts. Despite his offer, it is an option that is not entirely clear. He likes it, but not at any price. What Laporta is clear about is that he will not enter into any bidding if Jonathan David receives exorbitant offers.
