Barcelona is actively searching for a new striker to enhance their attacking options, with Jonathan David identified as their primary target. The 25-year-old Canadian forward has scored 129 club goals and 29 international goals, making him an appealing choice.
However, signing David may prove challenging, as several Premier League clubs are also interested. Reports indicate that his agent has been in discussions with various English teams, though no agreements have been reached.
While Barcelona is keen on David, there’s a possibility he could extend his contract with Lille, which would remove him from consideration. Consequently, coach Hansi Flick and the Barcelona board have created a shortlist of alternative targets.
Moussa Dembele, currently with Al-Ettifaq, and Luka Jovic from AC Milan are among the key candidates.
Additionally, the club has been linked to veteran strikers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Olivier Giroud, and Edin Dzeko. However, due to their ages, these players are viewed as less likely options since Barcelona is aiming for a long-term solution.
Other names mentioned, like Michail Antonio, Marko Arnautovic, and Luuk de Jong, are seen as speculative options with no solid interest yet. Barcelona’s quest for a new striker continues, with Jonathan David at the forefront of their potential signings for Camp Nou.
