Barcelona is reportedly close to securing the services of a player who has previously bested Real Madrid, with the transfer set to happen for free, according to a report by Sportglitz on October 8, 2024.
Recent reports suggest that Barcelona is looking to add an international talent during the next transfer window, following a request from their German coach, Hansi Flick. The move aims to strengthen the squad as the club continues its push for silverware, building on a strong start under Flick’s leadership. Barcelona currently sits atop La Liga with 24 points, following a 3-0 win over Deportivo Alavés.
According to the Spanish newspaper Sport, Barcelona is particularly focused on Lille striker Jonathan David. The club is well aware of David’s contract situation and is working diligently to bring him in as a free agent to bolster their attack.
Hansi Flick is reportedly confident that David’s style of play aligns perfectly with his vision for the team. The fact that David could arrive without a transfer fee is an added bonus for the club. The Lille striker, who has been a standout performer, has also openly shared his admiration for Barcelona, saying, "It’s my dream to join Barcelona," making his potential move to Camp Nou a natural fit for next summer.
