RB Leipzig is reportedly interested in signing Canadian international David for a major transfer fee. The German club, which currently sits atop the Bundesliga table, is said to be keen on bringing the talented midfielder to the Red Bull Arena.
David, who currently plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer, has been a standout performer in the league since joining in 2015. The 24-year-old has scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists in his four seasons with the club. He has also earned 11 caps for the Canadian national team, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
The reported transfer fee for David is said to be around €20 million, which would make him the most expensive Canadian player ever sold. If the move were to go through, it would be a major coup for RB Leipzig, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of their first ever Champions League campaign.
David would bring a wealth of experience and quality to the club, having played in both the MLS and the CONCACAF Champions League. He is also known for his versatility, having played in both defensive and attacking roles during his time with the Whitecaps.
RB Leipzig have been linked with a number of high-profile players in recent weeks, but this move would certainly be one of their most significant. If they are able to secure David’s signature, it could prove to be a major boost for their chances of success in Europe’s premier club competition.
For now, however, it remains to be seen whether or not RB Leipzig can convince David to make the move. With the transfer window set to close at the end of August, time is running out for them to make a deal. If they are successful, it could be a major statement of intent from the German club.
