Robert Lewandowski’s tenure with Barcelona is reportedly drawing to a close, with the veteran forward expected to leave the club at the end of his contract. Recent reports suggest that the Polish star, who has been non-committal about his future, is likely to depart the Catalan giants after four seasons that saw him claim three La Liga titles. This past season, Lewandowski played a less prominent role, often being outshone by Ferran Torres, as seen in crucial matches like the Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid and the recent El Clásico victory.
Porto Shows Strong Interest in Lewandowski
According to Sky Sport DE journalist Florian Plettenberg, FC Porto has demonstrated “very concrete interest” in signing Lewandowski this summer. While no agreement has been reached yet, the Portuguese club is reportedly eager to pursue a transfer for the experienced striker.
Lewandowski’s Exit Appears Imminent
Although an extension with Barcelona has not been entirely ruled out, it is considered a less probable outcome. Reports from Polish outlet Meczyki, as cited by MD, indicate that Lewandowski’s departure from Barcelona is all but decided. Barcelona has reportedly made a verbal offer for a reduced role and a significant pay cut for a one-year contract, though it has not been formalized.
Several other clubs are vying for Lewandowski’s signature. Saudi Arabian clubs are among the most aggressive suitors. Chicago Fire has also confirmed their long-standing interest and has presented a lucrative offer to lure him to Major League Soccer. For those keen on remaining in Europe, AC Milan and Juventus have also made inquiries, in addition to Porto. Sunday’s match against Real Betis at Camp Nou could potentially be his final home game for Barcelona.
