As his contract runs down, Jonathan David’s (24) future remains unclear. To the surprise of many, the Canada international remained at Lille OSC last summer, despite having just one year remaining on his contract. This season, he has continued to play a key role for LOSC, both in Ligue 1 and in the UEFA Champions League, netting key goals against the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Juventus. 

Last summer, the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus were all interested in the striker. Given that he will be available on a free transfer in just a matter of months, that interest has only increased. According to a report from Florian Plettenberg, “almost all top European clubs” are showing an interest in signing David when he becomes a free agent. From 1st January 2025, he will be free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with another club.

Plettenberg reports that Bayern Munich have David on their list of targets. Max Eberl is a fan of the player, whilst he also has a close relationship with compatriot Alphonso Davies, who is already at the Bundesliga club. Currently, there is no sign of David extending his contract with Lille.
