Liverpool Emerge as Top Contender to Beat PSG, Barcelona for Newcastle Transfer Target | OneFootball

With Randal Kolo Muani now at Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain are probably looking to offload the French striker permanently, either to the Turin club or another potential suitor. This could prompt the Ligue 1 side to seek a new No. 9 this summer.

According to Tuttosport, PSG have set their sights on Jonathan David from LOSC Lille. Both Newcastle United and West Ham are also monitoring the striker, who will be available on a free transfer this summer.

David’s contract expires on June 30, making him free to join any club. While interest from Serie A is growing, Juventus seems particularly eager to secure him.

CaughtOffside previously reported that David is at the center of a competitive transfer battle involving several top European clubs. However, he is said to be leaning toward a move to the Premier League.

Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Newcastle United—who are also keeping an eye on Alexander Isak’s situation—are all in the running.

David isn’t rushing his decision and plans to choose his next club at the end of the season, according to CaughtOffside. When asked about his future, the Canadian striker remained tight-lipped, leaving the door open for multiple possibilities.

According to Empire of the Kop, Liverpool are now considered “serious contenders” to sign David as a free agent this summer, with negotiations already underway.

Earlier this week, TEAMtalk reported that Barcelona also have significant interest in David, viewing him as an attractive option since he will be available on a free transfer. Given their ongoing financial challenges, Barcelona is carefully assessing several free-agent targets.

At the same time, four Premier League clubs — Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Newcastle United — are reportedly keeping an eye on the situation. With David’s contract set to expire at the end of the season and no signs of an extension, he looks set to enter the market as a free agent.
