This summer, Saudi Arabia had a frenetic transfer window during which they managed to attract a plethora of big names from the Old Continent. And while Benzema, Kanté, Mahrez and even Neymar have given in to the advances of the Gulf. Nevertheless, several players were able to resist the Saudi sirens and decided to stay in Europe despite the golden bridge offered to them. This is particularly the case of Robert Lewandowski. Arriving at FC Barcelona last summer from Bayern Munich, the Polish striker had an honorable first season under the leadership of Xavi.
More in difficulty at the start of the season, the 35-year-old striker did not wish to join Saudi Arabia despite requests from several prestigious teams in the country. Despite this affront, the kingdom intends to return to action during the winter transfer window and even during the next summer window of the transfer market as reported by the Catalan media TV3. It remains to be seen whether the Borussia Dortmund defector’s response will still be negative in a few months’ time.
