Jonathan David was once wanted at Liverpool by Jurgen Klopp
Jonathan David is a potential free replacement for Darwin Nunez at Liverpool having been monitored for years during Jurgen Klopp's reign.
The Reds have been linked with a move for the Lille frontman as far back as 2021 during Klopp's nine-year tenure. And David is due to be one of the hottest properties on the market this summer as he approaches the end of his contract in France.
Nunez, 25, is two-and-a-half years into his Merseyside stay but is still failing to hit his stride as many will have hoped. The Uruguayan has scored just four goals in 23 appearances across all competitions so far this season, with only two of those coming in the Premier League.
Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz have been rotated by Arne Slot as Liverpool's central attacker in recent months. But faith in £85million signing Nunez is running out among many fans, leading to talk of a renewed push to recruit David.
The Canada international leads Ligue 1's scoring chart on 11 goals so far this campaign, with 17 and five assists across all competitions. Juventus have also been fiercely linked with the attacker in months, with an exit from Lille in the summer looking all but inevitable as things stand.
The player - who has adopted an increasingly advanced role over the years - has displayed composure with an array of big goals this term. David has scored against Real Madrid , Atletico Madrid (twice) and Juventus in this season's Champions League.
