Barcelona is a big club where players gather on their own even if they don’t have money.
Spanish media ‘Barca Universal’ reported on the 18th (Korea time) that “Lil striker Jonathan David expressed his respect for Barcelona. He has been a fan of Barcelona since childhood and dreams of playing in Barca’s uniform someday.”
David made a name for himself as a member of KAA Hent in the Belgian league. His outstanding talent shone all over the world from a young age. He played 34 official matches in the 2019/21 season, scoring 21 goals and eight assists. He has scored 18 goals in the league alone, making him a striker in 야옹이‘s attention.
Then, numerous clubs contacted him to recruit him, and the French league, Henri Lille, succeeded in recruiting David. David continued in Lille as well. He scored more than 10 league goals for three consecutive seasons from his debut season to last season.
Notably, he had 26 goals and nine assists in 37 official matches last season. He closely trailed Kylian Mbappe, the top scorer, and ranked second in the league. His performance has continued this season as well.
Even though it is still in the early days of the season, the team has already scored 13 goals and had two assists in 19 games. Prestigious European clubs are sending love calls to David, who has already scored double-digit points.
In particular, Premier League clubs, which need to reinforce strikers and are armed with extraordinary capital, are continuing to pay attention. Nevertheless, David seems to be eyeing Barcelona.
Media outlets reported David’s interview. He said, “I have always supported Barcelona. It is a club that I have always liked since I was growing up. The fact that I support a certain team makes me dream of playing there.”
Barcelona also needs to strengthen its striker. Robert Lewandowski, who was born in 1988, is showing strong performance, but his skills could deteriorate at any time due to aging. It is also impossible to expect Lewandowski to play a tight schedule alone.
