Lille, France - On Monday, Jonathan David renewed his contract with the club until 2027 and was also rewarded with a significant salary increase. David, who is currently in his third season at Lille, has been a key player for the club since joining from MLS side Montreal Impact in January 2019. The Canadian striker has scored 44 goals in 88 appearances for Lille, helping them win the Ligue 1 title in each of the last two seasons. In a statement released by Lille on Monday, the club praised David's contribution to the team and expressed their gratitude for his commitment to the club. They also announced that he would be receiving a salary increase as part of his new contract. David's salary had previously been reported to be around €6 million per year, but it appears that this will now rise to €10 million per year. This represents a significant increase and shows just how highly regarded David is at Lille. The news comes after a difficult start to the season for Lille, who have struggled to find form under new manager Rudi Garcia. However, David has remained one of the team's standout performers, scoring six goals in seven league games so far this season. With the salary increase and renewed contract, David is set to continue his impressive performances for Lille in the coming years. He will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the club's efforts to compete for major honours, including the UEFA Champions League. Overall, the renewal of David's contract and the significant salary increase show just how important he is to Lille and how much they value his contributions to the team. With such a high-profile signing, it will be interesting to see how Lille perform under Garcia and whether David can help the club achieve success in the upcoming campaign. |
