Total package for Barcelona to sign Ligue 1 striker next summer would cost €80m

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

David has been linked with several clubs across Europe, but it is reported that Barcelona would be his dream option. However, reaching an agreement could prove difficult as Sport has revealed a number of contract demands from the Canadian international.

David would ask for a four-year contract with a significant sign-on bonus and agent commission. The total amount that Barcelona would have to spend for this is estimated at around 80 million euros.

Barcelona are still struggling mightily with their financial problems, so they may not be able to offer as high a salary as David would like. There is no doubt that other clubs will be willing to offer more, and this is where complications could arise.
