Barcelona are currently examining the transfer market to see if an option is available to replace Robert Lewandowski or at least rotate with him. Available for free in just over a month, Lille's Jonathan David appeared as one of the main contenders, with Barcelona scouting the Canadian.
David stated earlier this month that he has been a Barcelona fan since he was young, and is said to be interested in a move. The Blaugrana know that they will not be the only side in the frame for his signature, and Christian Falk has revealed The Daily Briefing that Bayern Munich is also interested in David. Sporting director Max Eberl thinks highly of the Lille forward, and they want an alternative to Harry Kane if Mathys Tel moves in the summer.

There are few options on the market that come cheap for Barcelona, and none makes more economic sense than David. He will likely have resale value as well, but Barcelona would have to play on his affection for the club, as Bayern can likely offer more money.
