Sport reported that Robert Lewandowski’s destination after Barcelona in the summer of 2026 may be a major European club, rather than a move to the Saudi League as expected.
The Polish international’s contract with Barcelona expires at the end of the current season, and Barcelona’s management will most likely not renew his contract as he turns 38 and will look for a new striker to lead the Catalan club’s project for the long term.
Lewandowski has received numerous offers from Saudi Arabia over the past two years, and his agent said that the option of moving to the Roshen League is tempting for his client, but he is still waiting for the right time to make this move.
The surprise, according to Sport, is that Milan, through its sporting director, Igli Tare, has already contacted Lewandowski and begun negotiations with him to acquire his services for free next summer.
Tarek believes that a player with Lewandowski’s experience, talent, and abilities, even if he’s older, would be extremely useful to Milan, especially since Luka Modric, who is older than him, is performing phenomenally at San Siro this season.
Lewandowski has not yet made a final decision on this matter. His priority remains to continue with Barcelona, and he is awaiting the final decision from Joan Laporta and his entourage.
If Barcelona decides to renew Lewandowski’s contract—an option that remains in play due to the devastating financial crisis—the Polish player will remain at Camp Nou 100% and will take a salary cut. However, if the club decides to release him, the former Bayern Munich star will begin to consider offers from Milan and Saudi Arabia, although his priority will be to remain in Europe.
It’s worth noting that during his four years at Barcelona, Lewandowski made 154 appearances in all competitions, scoring 105 goals and providing 20 assists.
