Despite having a contract until 2026, Robert Lewandowski could be tempted to seek out a financial eldorado before his time.
Lewandowski, a top-notch scorer
Since his arrival at FC Barcelona in 2022 to become the spearhead of the attack, Robert Lewandowski has performed almost as well as he did in the Bayern Munich jersey. The Polish striker was a rare gem in German football, a world-class attacker, and FC Barcelona had made considerable efforts to recruit him, despite limited financial resources.
During his first season with Barça last year, the 35-year-old striker displayed positive performances, scoring 33 goals and providing 8 assists in 46 appearances in all competitions, greatly contributing to the Blaugranas’ triumph in La Liga. In his second year in Spain, Lewandowski was even more anticipated and has already scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists in 10 appearances in La Liga.
Robert Lewandowski to Saudi Arabia or the MLS?
However, despite his impressive statistics and his role as a leader within the team, Lewandowski’s future has been the subject of discussions for several weeks. Although he has repeatedly stated his desire to honor his contract with the Blaugranas, which expires in 2026, rumors are circulating that his age might prompt FC Barcelona to seek a younger striker, with Julian Alvarez from Manchester City being an option considered by the Catalan leaders.

If a departure were to materialize, Lewandowski already has two attractive destinations in mind. According to Sport, Saudi Arabia, which had already tried to lure him this summer with an offer of 150 million euros from Abha Club, still dreams of acquiring him this winter. The Major League Soccer (MLS) is also closely monitoring the situation. Several franchises have already expressed interest in the player, an option that seems to appeal to Lewandowski himself. It remains to be seen if the rumors of a new striker will push him to take the leap.
In conclusion, Robert Lewandowski’s future is uncertain despite his current contract with FC Barcelona. The possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS presents an intriguing prospect for the talented striker, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds in the coming months.
