The total package for Barcelona to sign the Ligue 1 striker next summer would cost €80m

It is expected that Barcelona will look to sign a new striker next summer, as Robert Lewandowski will be 37 at the start of the 2025-26 season. In recent months, the Catalan giants have been heavily linked with Jonathan David, who would be a very viable option as he will be available as a free agent once his Lille contract is up.

David has been linked with several clubs across Europe, but it is reported that Barcelona would be his dream option. However, it could end up being difficult for an agreement to be reached, as Sport have revealed some of the contract requests made by the Canadian international.

David would ask for a four-year contract with a substantial signing bonus and an agent's commission – the total amount that Barcelona would need to fork out for this is believed to be in the region of 80 million euros.

Barcelona they are still struggling massively with their financial problems, because they could not offer a salary as David wanted. There is no doubt that other clubs will be willing to offer more, and this is where the complications will arise.
