Canadian forward Jonathan David is expected to leave Lille soon. Barcelona was initially seen as the main contender for the player, but due to ongoing financial issues, the Catalan club has abandoned the idea of signing the prolific striker.
Details: Journalist Rudy Galetti reports that Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr is now interested in David. The club aims to pair him with Cristiano Ronaldo and is preparing an offer that would see David earn more than 6 million euros annually, while Lille could receive around 10 million euros for the player.
Reminder: The low transfer fee is due to David's contract with Lille expiring this summer. According to Transfermarkt, the 24-year-old's market value is 45 million euros.
It's also noted that the player prefers to stay in Europe, where several top English clubs are interested, but this offer may make him reconsider his decision.
