If Lewandowski decides to accept any of the offers, FC Barcelona will have to make a strategic shift in its transfer policy.

Not even with the season concluded can FC Barcelona breathe easy. While Hansi Flick and Deco design the future of the team, a piece of news shakes the foundations of the club.

Robert Lewandowski has received two astronomical offers from Saudi Arabia. And one of them comes, surprisingly, from an environment linked to Barça's greatest sporting rival.

The Polish striker, one of the team's offensive references, has a valid contract and is a respected figure inside and outside the locker room. But at 36 years old, he faces a crossroads that could change the course of his career... and that of the club.

Saudi Arabia tempts Lewandowski with a record contract

The two proposals he has received exceed 40 million euros net per season, a figure impossible to match in the European market. Behind them are Saudi clubs with sports projects backed by great fortunes and with the mission of raising their league to a global competitive level.

For Lewandowski, it would be the most lucrative contract of his career. And although his performance remains high —40 goals this season in all competitions—, the magnitude of the offers opens an inevitable debate: should Barça retain him at any price?

Barça assesses the operation: end of cycle or strategic opportunity

The impact of Robert Lewandowski remains indisputable. His goalscoring instinct, his tactical intelligence and his leadership in key moments have been vital for the team. However, the club is aware that his stage could be entering its final phase.

A sale, in addition to freeing up salary mass, would allow them to face new signings and rejuvenate the squad. In that sense, Deco is already working on offensive solutions for a possible transition.

Deco confirms that there are alternatives in the squad

The sports director of Barça was clear when talking about a future without Lewandowski: “We have internal solutions when he is not there, such as Ferran Torres or Dani Olmo. You don't have to be obsessed with a center forward.”

With this statement, Deco implies that the club is not clinging to the veteran striker and that it is willing to assume the necessary changes to maintain the competitiveness of the azulgrana project.

Farewell at the door or last great season at the Camp Nou?

The dilemma is on the table. If Lewandowski decides to accept any of the Saudi proposals, FC Barcelona will have to make a strategic shift in its attack. If, on the contrary, the Pole chooses to fulfill his contract, he will continue to be the offensive reference, at least for one more season.

Whatever his decision, the truth is that the future of one of the last great '9' classics of European football is at stake. And Barça, once again, is in the eye of the hurricane.
