Barcelona have begun the search for Robert Lewandowski's successor, with the Polish veteran expected to be removed from the starting line-up soon from next season. Next summer would be the first chance of someone being signed, and a sharp target is Jonathan David.
David would be available as a free agent as his contract with Lille expires in June. Barcelona is one of the clubs monitoring his situation, although it appears that it could be difficult for them to beat the competition.
According to CaughtOffside, David is “extremely excited” to join a Premier League club next summer, with Arsenal and Manchester United both said to have a strong interest in securing his services.
Missing David would be a blow for Barcelona, although they probably don't see him as the ideal Lewandowski successor. They have been linked with Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak in recent months, and both players would certainly be higher on the list of sporting director Deco and co.
