Robert Lewandowski arrived at FC Barcelona with an impeccable track record and, despite his veteran status, became the team's top scorer. In his first season, he won LaLiga's Pichichi, showing his quality and leadership on the field. However, at 36 years old and with a contract in force, his future could be far from Camp Nou.
The management knows that his contract ends on June 30, 2026, and although his performance remains high, they have already considered his future. Now, an unexpected offer has arrived at Barça's offices, and the decision about the forward's future is more open than ever.
Robert Lewandowski and an unexpected offer
FC Barcelona didn't have in mind to sell Robert Lewandowski in this summer market, but a proposal could change things. In recent days, from Saudi Arabia, a significant amount has been put forward for the Polish forward. This offer, which until recently seemed impossible, is already being considered by the management.
The interested club is Al Hilal SFC, which is looking for an elite forward after Neymar's departure to Santos in Brazil. In their planning, they need an experienced scorer who can be the offensive reference for the leader of the Saudi league. And that's where Robert Lewandowski comes into play.
Al Hilal SFC seeks an experienced leader for their forward line
The Saudi team not only wants to have a world-class forward but is also willing to make a significant investment. That's why they have already presented an offer of 30 million euros for Robert Lewandowski. Undoubtedly, a transfer that could create a lot of buzz.
The contract offered to Robert Lewandowski would be very economically attractive, with a salary in line with his status and track record. Additionally, it would allow him to continue competing in a less physically demanding league. However, he would enjoy a growing level thanks to the stars that have recently arrived.
Robert Lewandowski's contract and Barça's stance on the Saudi offer
With a contract valid until 2026, FC Barcelona knows that there aren't many opportunities left to obtain a significant amount for Robert Lewandowski. Therefore, the option from Saudi Arabia is not ruled out, especially if it allows improving the club's financial situation.
The sports management seek to rejuvenate the forward line and find a forward who can take on the leadership in the coming years. If the sale is finalized, Barça would have room to strengthen the squad with a new star. However, while Deco and Laporta don't look unfavorably on the proposal, Flick doesn't want to hear about the Polish player's departure.
It's true that the possible departure of the Polish forward would open the door to new options in attack. In the market, there are several younger alternatives that fit the club's philosophy and could lead the offense in the coming years. The 30 million euro offer from Saudi Arabia poses a dilemma for Barça, but if Flick is the one who decides, Robert Lewandowski will stay at Camp Nou.
