Lille and Canada in front has become one of the most watched in Europe among the continent’s top clubs. With David losing his contract next summer, he has decided against signing a new contract and will be available on a free transfer.
At 24, he is a goalscorer on the rise, a rare opportunity on the market and no shortage of suitors. Barcelona are monitoring David, although probably more as a rotation option than as a first-choice striker. Atlético Madrid also followed suit, but interest waned given the competition. David is expected to have offers from the Premier League but with his agent.
Barcelona recently scouted 17-year-old River Plate midfielder Franco Mastantuono during a Copa Libertadores game against Atlético Mineiro.

“[Barca] was always the team I supported as a child. When you grow up supporting a team, playing for them is a dream,” he noted.ç
🚨🔴⚪️ Atletico Madrid has reached 60,573 season ticket holders, setting a new record for the club. The total number of socios has also exceeded 143,000. There is currently a waiting list of 2,500 people who would like to purchase a season ticket.

Barcelona have been linked with David in recent weeks and sporting director Deco is hoping to bring in additional help up front to ease the burden on the aging Robert Lewandowski. However, the Catalan giants are unlikely to be able to guarantee him a starting role, which could make negotiations a little more difficult as they are unlikely to try and tip the scales with money.
