The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the global economy. Many sectors of activity have been affected, including tourism, catering and events. Companies have had to face a significant drop in turnover, leading to job losses and financial difficulties. Governments have put in place economic support measures to help businesses and workers get through this unprecedented crisis. Despite this, the economic recovery promises to be slow and uncertain, with long-term consequences for growth and employment.
“Barcelona was the team I supported growing up. When you grow up being a fan of a team, it’s a dream to be able to play for them,” he said. According to information from Sport, Barça would be attentive to the situation of the Canadian international, whose contract with Lille expires next June.
A risky bet for FC Barcelona
While everything seems to indicate that the player trained at La Gantoise is heading towards a free departure next summer, the Spanish newspaper reveals that the Blaugranas would have considered recruiting him. However, several significant obstacles stand in the way of Jonathan David’s possible arrival at Camp Nou.
On the one hand, the young 24-year-old striker is attracting the interest of several Premier League clubs, who have already submitted concrete offers to his agents. On the other hand, the management of FC Barcelona should pay around 80 million euros to secure his services over a period of four years, taking into account salaries, bonuses and commissions.
Given its precarious financial situation, the Catalan club must think carefully about such an investment. In addition, it should be noted that the Canadian star could risk finding himself in a secondary role, as Robert Lewandowski’s understudy at the center forward position.
