Lewandowski subject to Saudi Arabian interest, Barcelona unlikely to sell

Robert Lewandowski has just one season left on his contract and is the highest earner in the squad. In the summer of 2022, he committed to Barcelona in a deal worth 45 million euros plus five in variables, paid to Bayern Munich. Far from being a gentle glide into retirement, he has been a key figure under both Xavi Hernandez and now, Hansi Flick.

His undeniable performance - 42 goals last season, his best record since joining the 'Cules' - contrasts with the financial fragility that Joan Laporta's board are managing. This weakness could open the door for a sale in the current transfer window. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', several Saudi League projects have contacted his representatives to sound them out about a potential offer.

Neither the Pole is keen to leave the Camp Nou squad, nor do the coaching staff or Deco want him to, but, according to the aforementioned newspaper, the door is not completely closed should the possibility of a lucrative transfer arise. It would resolve open issues such as the registration of Joan García and the wage bill would be relieved of the amount of around 400,000 euros per week that he receives.

Robert Lewandowski's last public appearance was at the press conference prior to the friendly match against Vissel Kobe in Asia. Asked about his future, the striker made it clear that, although he has "many things" on his "mind", his priority is this season, suggesting that he is not considering a change of scenery. With a month of the transfer window still to go, whether this feeling changes will depend on those interested in him.
