Lewandowski's stance on his departure from Barcelona this summer

The various market rumors that place Robert Lewandowski outside of FC Barcelona this summer seem like they will end up being just that: speculations. This was implied by the Polish journalist Tomasz Wlodarczyk, a source close to Lewy, who offered some clues about the plans of the '9' from Warsaw.

Wlodarczyk used his social networks (@wlodar85) to launch a blunt message about the desires of the Azulgrana goalscorer: "Lewandowski has no intention of leaving Barcelona. He is happy and ready for the new season, looking forward to completing the last year of his contract," he wrote. All this in allusion to the striker's will to respect his lucrative contract as a Barcelona player, which positions him as the highest paid player in the team heading into the upcoming season.

Lewandowski's Future After Barça: Arabia Could Loom

In turn, Tomasz explained what could come next for the former Bayern Munich player, whose current contract ends on June 30, 2026, unless renewed: "And then? Of course, there will be offers from the Saudi Professional League."

A statement that gives the impression of not being isolated, since in the last hours, as we reported in FCBN, Lewandowski has been linked with Saudi Arabian football, to the point that a formal offer for him in this summer market is not ruled out. However, with such a forceful message and coming from someone close to his environment, the door to an immediate departure of the Pole is probably closed. His continuity, which was never really in doubt, gains strength with these words.

Barça has a first-class revulsive like Ferran Torres, in addition to other interesting alternatives such as Marcus Rashford, who, although he is a natural left winger, has already shown that he can act as a '9' if the situation requires it. The same goes for Dani Olmo, a skillful attacking midfielder with the ability to perform as a false nine in certain contexts.
