Lille, France - On Friday morning, the French club announced that they had renewed their contract with Jonathan David for another two years, with a 50% increase in his salary.

David's current contract was set to expire at the end of June, and it was expected that he would leave the club at the end of the season. However, after much negotiation, the club and player agreed on a new deal that will see him stay at Lille until the summer of 2027.

The news comes as a relief for both the player and the fans, who have been hoping for some stability in the team's front line. David has been a key player for Lille in recent seasons, scoring 18 goals and providing six assists in all competitions this year.

"Jonathan is an important part of our squad," said Lille coach Christophe Galtier. "We're delighted to be able to keep him at the club for the next few years."

David himself expressed his delight at the news, saying: "I'm really happy to sign a new contract with Lille. It's a great opportunity to continue playing at such a high level and I can't wait to start the new season."

The contract extension also means that David will receive a significant pay rise, which will help to secure his future at the club. The exact terms of the deal were not disclosed by the club, but it is understood that the increase in salary will be substantial.

Overall, the news is a positive development for Lille, who now have one of their most valuable players committed to the club until 2027. With David in the lineup, Lille should be able to continue their strong performance in the coming seasons, and look forward to more success under Galtier's guidance.
