When Robert Lewandowski sets down his bags in Catalonia in the summer of 2022, FC Barcelona got their hands on one of the five best players in the world. Incredible for years with Bayern Munich, the Polish striker has decided to export his talents under the tunic of Barça. And when you're as strong a scorer as Lewandowski, the mayonnaise sets very quickly. Quickly starting and spearheading his team, the Borussia Dortmund defector is having a quality first season with 33 goals and 8 assists in 46 games.
Slightly less decisive during his second year in Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski is coming off his best vintage with the Culés. Author of 42 goals in 52 matches at the age of 36, the Warsaw native was one of the big players in FC Barcelona's successful season last year. Reuniting with Hansi Flick who had made him shine at Bayern Munich, the Pole seemed at the top of his game despite much less obvious athletic qualities than a few years ago. Affected by more and more injuries, Lewandowski arrived for this 2025-2026 edition with fewer certainties.
Robert Lewandowski does not want to join Saudi Arabia
Injured and increasingly on the bench for the benefit of a prolific Ferran Torres, the Pole is surely reaching the twilight of his Catalan adventure. At the end of his contract next June, Lewandowski will certainly not be extended. Acted for a few weeks now, this planned divorce is taking shape and could also be explained by Lewandowski's significant emoluments in Barcelona (26 million euros gross per year). As explained Sport this Sunday, the end of the Lewandowski adventure is planned for the end of the season.
While the name of Etta Eyong is often put forward and has been revealed by the Iberian media, the future of Lewandowski is up in the air. However, the Spanish source affirms that retirement is not in fashion and that Lewandowski would like to play one or even two more years at the high level in Europe. Thus, any offer from Saudi Arabia will be rejected as explained Sport. For the future, Lewandowski could retire in Catalonia, where his family feels good.
