Robert Lewandowski is leaving Barcelona on the finish of the season when his contract expires.
The 37-year-old has scored 119 targets in 191 appearances for the membership since becoming a member of in 2022, successful three La Liga titles, however he’ll depart “feeling that the mission is full”.
We’ve assessed his choices and highlighted 5 locations for subsequent season.
Al Hilal
Final summer time, it was broadly reported that Lewandowski had a number of provides from golf equipment in Saudi Arabia.
He reportedly turned down mega cash from the likes of Al Hilal and Al-Nassr.
Whereas the striker rejected their advances on the time, the door was left open to debate a deal later down the road.
And reviews this week have prompt that Al Hilal are the frontrunners for Lewandowski’s signature, with discuss of a deal value €90 million per season. That’s roughly £1.5million per week.
Chicago Fireplace
Again in 2024, various MLS sides have been maintaining tabs on the veteran striker.
His Poland teammate, Karol Swiderski, who used to play for Charlotte FC, has admitted that Lewandowski has requested him about shifting to MLS earlier than.
“Sure, he’s requested me generally,” Swiderski informed reporters a couple of years in the past.
“I’m ready for this second, so I hope he’ll come right here, as a result of he’s actually a legend, [not only] in Poland however even I feel in Europe.
“He’s scored many, many targets, so it could be good to fulfill him in MLS.”
It was reported on the finish of final 12 months that Chicago Fireplace have Lewandowski on their ‘discovery listing’, which implies no different membership in MLS can signal the veteran with out paying them a price.
AC Milan
If Lewandowski desires to stay in Europe, Milan may present a house.
The Italian giants have a historical past of signing gamers of their late thirties and getting the perfect out of them – simply have a look at Luka Modric this season.
It’s been well-documented that Milan have been concerned with him over the previous few months and subsequent summer time may very well be excellent timing for each the participant and membership.
In response to reviews, Lewandowski would possibly settle for lower than 10 per cent of the wage on provide in Saudi, although Milan are stated to be contemplating Atletico Madrid’s Alexander Sorloth instead.
Juventus
Like Milan, Juve hosted Lewandowski’s agent Pini Zahavi not too long ago amid reviews the Outdated Girl was eyeing up the Polish hit-man.
Apparently, they didn’t like what they heard from Zahavi.
Regardless of the massive discount compared to the Saudi numbers, €8million a 12 months remains to be greater than Juve are concerned with paying.
If Lewandowski is enjoying in Serie A subsequent season, it’s extra more likely to be in Milan than Turin.
Man Utd
Rio Ferdinand reckons Lewandowski can be a savvy transfer for his former membership.
“What a man, what a participant!” wrote Ferdinand on X. “Skilled choice subsequent season in UCL & assist with improvement of Sesko?”
Ferdinand’s opinion doesn’t carry a lot weight at Outdated Trafford as of late. However, really, he makes a good level.
