Lewandowski considers leaving Barcelona after receiving a €100 million offer from Saudi Arabia

Barcelona alarmed as star striker considers record-breaking contract proposal

Robert Lewandowski could be on the verge of leaving Barcelona after receiving a staggering €100 million offer for a two-year deal from Saudi Arabia, according to reports from El Nacional. The proposal, equivalent to roughly €50 million per season, includes a series of additional benefits for both the player and his family, as Saudi clubs continue their aggressive push to attract elite European talent.

The 35-year-old initially expressed his intention to remain at the Catalan club, but the sheer scale of the contract has forced him to reconsider. For the Saudi Pro League, Lewandowski’s arrival would not only bring a marquee name to the competition but also enhance its international profile.

Barcelona’s Growing Concern

Inside Camp Nou, the possibility of losing their number nine has set off alarm bells. Manager Hansi Flick views Lewandowski as a key component of his tactical system, and his departure would force the club into an urgent search for a top-class replacement before the close of the European transfer window.

Sporting director Deco and club president Joan Laporta are pressing for a definitive answer from the Polish striker in the coming days, hoping to avoid a last-minute scramble on the market.

Proven Impact Since Arrival

Lewandowski joined Barcelona in 2022 after a prolific spell at Bayern Munich, where he became one of Europe’s most feared forwards. Since his arrival, he has scored 101 goals and provided 20 assists in 147 matches across all competitions, helping the club secure major domestic titles.

Potential Replacements Already Identified

Should Lewandowski depart, Barcelona have already outlined several targets. Manchester City’s Julián Álvarez is considered Laporta’s dream signing, while Hansi Flick reportedly favours 23-year-old German forward Nick Woltemade, seeing him as an ideal partner for Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Other high-profile names like Harry Kane and Erling Haaland remain on the club’s long-term radar, though their availability this summer appears unlikely.
