Canadian striker Jonathan David, one of Europe’s hottest prospects, has made it clear who his favorite team is: FC Barcelona. In a recent chat with The Athletic, the Lille forward shared his lifelong admiration for the Catalan club. “They’ve always been the team I cheered for growing up. When you grow up supporting a team, it’s a dream to play for them,” he admitted. With these words, David has sparked rumors about a potential move to Barça, a club actively looking to revamp its attack.

At 24, with his contract running out next summer, David is shaping up to be one of the most sought-after players on the market. This season, he’s already scored 13 goals in 19 games for Lille, including a standout strike against Real Madrid in the Champions League. “It’s always special to score against big clubs. Every goal matters, but that one against Madrid will be talked about for weeks,” the Canadian said, highlighting his knack for shining on big occasions.

While his heart seems to lean towards the Camp Nou, Jonathan David’s future is wide open. Clubs like Juventus, Inter, Bayern Munich, and several Premier League sides are also keen to land him. Still, his words about Barça haven’t gone unnoticed, and Barça fans are already dreaming of seeing him in their iconic blue and red jersey.

Known for his versatility up front, David says he thrives in flexible roles that let him roam the pitch and make an impact. "I like to be everywhere—moving around, finding spaces, and making a difference," he explained. With youth, talent, and ambition on his side, the Canadian could be the perfect addition to Flick's squad as they aim to reclaim their spot at the top of European football.
