Robert Lewandowski Eyes Saudi Move as Barcelona Plans Future Without Him

Robert Lewandowski, 36, is considering a lucrative post-2026 move to Saudi Arabia, with offers exceeding €40 million annually. While Hansi Flick still values his experience, Barcelona is preparing for a transition up front. Lewandowski aims to finish strong in Europe before potentially ending his career in a financially rewarding, less demanding league.

As the talks of a potential farewell intensify, Robert Lewandowski’s future at FC Barcelona appears increasingly uncertain beyond the 2025-26 season. At 36, the Polish striker is approaching the twilight of his European career, and while he remains part of Hansi Flick’s plans for the upcoming campaign, both Lewandowski and the club are preparing for a possible exit once his contract ends in June 2026.

Two Saudi Pro League clubs have reportedly submitted massive offers to sign him post-Barcelona, proposing deals worth over €40 million ($43.6 million) annually for up to three years. These offers not only double his current salary but also promise him a central role in their sporting and commercial projects. For Lewandowski, it represents a chance to secure a lucrative final chapter after decades at the top level.

Within Barcelona, the management, including Deco, is already exploring replacements as part of a long-term offensive transition. Although Flick values Lewandowski’s experience, he does not see him as untouchable. The striker’s objective now is to finish his elite European journey on a high, competing for major trophies before likely heading to the Middle East. All signs suggest 2026 could mark the end of his chapter at Camp Nou.
