According to TSN Sports, a Canadian media outlet, the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid have joined the bid to get the services of Jonathan David in the upcoming summer transfer market with the aim of adding more talent to their forwards and competing for the UEFA Champions League title.
The Canadian striker, just 22 years old, has 16 goals and is the top scorer, along with former Sevilla player Ben Yedder, in Ligue 1 above big names like Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé. His performance has placed him in the orbit of several European greats (Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal), to which the Blaugrana and Merengue have been added.
Lille is going through a difficult economic situation, so they have to sell important players to be able to accommodate their accounts.
FC Barcelona and Real Madrid fight for a Ligue 1 star
-FC Barcelona: The Barça team is looking for a center forward for next season. There are several names that have appeared in Joan Laporta’s portfolio (Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, Darwin Núñez, Edinson Cavani, Karim Adeyemi, Timo Werner, Lautaro Martínez, Julián Álvarez), but the Canadian is an interesting option due to his age , its price and projection. Xavi likes him a lot because of his speed and command of the box.
-Real Madrid: The merengue team needs to reinforce its forward. Karim Benzema is still more relevant than ever, but they do not have a quality substitute on the squad who could take over his position in the future. Neither Jovic nor Mariano Díaz have met expectations. The club ruled out the signing of Haaland because of his price, so they want to break the market with the signing of Jonathan David, who wants a change of scenery in the summer.
