It appears Barcelona will not make a move for Lille striker Jonathan David in the coming weeks as the Canadian forward decides on his future. The 24-year-old can sign a pre-contract with other clubs from January 1 and has so far rejected any offer from Les Dogues.
David had expressed his desire to play for Barcelona, having been a fan of the club as a child, but the Blaugrana have delayed any decision on his transfer and by the time they make it, David may have already decided on his future. Sport say David will wait to see if Barcelona make a move for him, but not for long.

Amid great interest from the Premier League, Inter, Juventus and Bayern Munich, the Catalan newspaper claims that it already has a lucrative offer from Tottenham Hotspur on the table. Both Barcelona sporting director Deco and manager Hansi Flick have doubts about their ability to thrive without room to run, which is the key reason they have not moved on one of the 2025 market opportunities. .
Barcelona tend to mostly face stacked defenses deep in Spain, even if they have become more direct this season under Flick, hoping to hit many teams on the counterattack. With Robert Lewandowski turning 37 next year, they are looking for an alternative for him in the middle next summer.
