Attacker Jonathan David, whose contract with the LOSC is coming to an end next June, seems to be destined to leave the Lille club at the next summer mercato. The very nature of this recruitment will be closely linked to the club’s qualification or not for the next Champions League, a constraint similar to that observed at the Olympique de Marseille. Aware of the difficulty of replacing a player of the size of the Canadian international, the Lille leadership aims to undertake ambitious recruitment, particularly for the number nine position, in order to maintain the team’s competitiveness.

Among the profiles of interest of the LOSC are Franjo Ivanovic, a 21-year-old Croatian international attacker, who performed in the Jupiler Pro League with the Union Saint-Gilloise, and Hamza Igamane, a Moroccan international with the Glasgow Rangers. The latter, particularly followed by the Olympique de Marseille for several months, has been distinguished by its remarkable performances, especially in the face of the OGC Nice. The name of the Algerian midfielder Yassine Titraoui, also evolving in Belgium, was also mentioned in discussions related to potential Lille recruits.

The acquisition of these promising talents, Franjo Ivanovic and Hamza Igamane, could be accessible for an estimated amount of around 15 million euros. These opportunities represent strategic levers for LOSC and Olympique de Marseille, and the evolution of these negotiations will be closely monitored by French football observers.
