FC Barcelona has ambitious plans underway for 2026, in which Robert Lewandowski is not included. The Polish striker's contract ends on June 30 of that year and he will be about to turn 38. The decision is more than made, with both parties knowing that the agreement will not remain in effect once it has ended... Barça will be parting ways with one of the highest salaries on the squad.
With this in mind, just as Barça is looking for a new top-level "9" for next season, Lewandowski is doing the same regarding his future. The veteran forward, in this sense, would have already found his next destination, intending to join the ambitious and multi-million dollar project in Saudi Arabia.
Robert Lewandowski will play in Saudi Arabia
From Saudi Arabia, according to Sport, they claim that "there is a commitment" for Lewandowski to go there when his contract with Barça ends. In recent years, we have seen the Polish striker linked to the Saudi league repeatedly, but this move would not take place until 2026.
In Saudi Arabia, the newspaper Al-Riyadiyah has revealed that it would be Robert Lewandowski himself who has the desire to play in the Middle East. To the point that a member of his representation agency would have confirmed the will of the current FC Barcelona forward.
In any case, one thing is clear. For now, "there are no conversations of any kind," and everything will be set in motion for 2026, when Lewandowski will be free to negotiate his future. It is expected that he will sign a multi-year deal with many millions at stake, having the possibility to leave without a transfer involved.
Lewandowski focused on Barça
What Lewandowski is certain about is that his future will not distort what will be his last season at FC Barcelona. He understands that this will be his last year at the top level and he wants to say goodbye in style, aiming to win every title and with a new Champions League trophy under his belt. It will not be easy, but he trusts he can do it under Hansi Flick's orders.
Even though he seems to be really close to Saudi Arabia, he is taking this matter with total calm. The first priority is Barça, then the Polish national team, and after that, his future. He has no doubt that he will make the right decision, but for now, there is total calm.
