Where will Robert Lewandowski play next season? Linked to FC Barcelona until June 2026, the Barcelona striker continues to stir up rumors on the transfer market. Often criticized since the start of the 2023-2024 financial year despite his 20 goals and 9 assists in 39 matches in all competitions, the Polish international (148 caps, 82 goals) is regularly announced as leaving. With this in mind, Saudi Arabia seems determined to offer its services. Recently, the Spanish media claimed, in this regard, that the Saudi Pro League was ready to offer him an XXL contract where his salary would then be multiplied by three.
Yes but here it is, according to the latest information from Sport, a departure from Catalonia is clearly not on the agenda. Indeed, the daily indicates that the current second in Liga is counting more than ever on its striker despite these incredible offers and the substantial emoluments of the native of Warsaw. Aware of the difficulty of attracting a world-class striker, Barça – who always have to deal with limited finances – would therefore be more inclined to the idea of continuing the adventure with number 9, also tracked by Atlético de Madrid.
Robert Lewandowski wants to stay at Barça!
For his part, the former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich center forward assured that he wanted to stay in the Culers jersey and expressed this directly to his agent, Pini Zahavi. Despite several questionable performances, the 35-year-old remains, today, one of the main offensive assets of the Blaugranas, especially at a time when Vitor Roque has not benefited from enormous playing time since his arrival in January. From then on and to best ensure the transition, Barça wants to continue to rely on him. If Robert Lewandowski has a problematic salary given the financial situation of the club, his sporting impact remains significant.
So, Sport reminds us that Lewandowski's departure could cause a real cataclysm for next season. So, of course, the Catalan club could receive a transfer fee of almost 40 million euros and save a lot of money on the payroll, but the price of big attackers on the market turns out to be exorbitant. The club would then have no room for maneuver, except for the presence of Vitor Roque, who has not yet proven himself. If Joan Laporta and his teams continue to work on his succession – Erling Haaland is notably mentioned for the summer of 2025 – Robert Lewandowski should therefore, for the moment, remain the reference for the Barcelona attack.
I agree he should stay
