The Polish striker has been playing at Barça for four years and his contract expires next summer. The Catalan club should therefore part with the Polish international, who has been competing for a starting place with Ferran Torres since the spring. While rumors were circulating that FC Barcelona had already decided not to extend Lewandowski’s contract, the latter told the press earlier this week that he was in no rush to decide on his future for next season.
The 37-year-old is expected to leave the Catalan club next summer.
Lewandowski would favor FC Barcelona. This statement is corroborated by an article by Tomasz Wlodarczyk (Meczyki), relayed by Sport, which indicates that Lewandowski intends to listen to the proposals of FC Barcelona before making a decision concerning his future. According to this article, FC Barcelona has not completely ruled out a contract extension, but is actively looking for his replacement. For his part, Lewandowski will only look for a new club once his situation with Barcelona has been clarified.
Where could Lewandowski go?
For two years, rumors have been circulating according to which Saudi Arabia would be interested in the arrival of Robert Lewandowski, who would thus strengthen its squad of experienced stars. However, it is unclear whether the player is actually interested in this transfer. More recently, it was suggested that Lewandowski would interest Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone, who would like to benefit from his eye for goal.
The Colchoneros are also used to recruiting experienced attackers from Barcelona. Memphis Depay, Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suarez and David Villa have all joined the Spanish capital after spells in Catalonia.
