Lewandowski could leave Barcelona for Saudi Arabia after internal criticism

Robert Lewandowski could be on his way out of Barcelona. The Polish striker, once a cornerstone of Barça’s attack, is now facing intense internal pressure and losing prominence under the club’s new direction sparking interest from Saudi Arabian clubs eager to make him their next superstar signing.
Lewandowski Faces Locker Room Tension and Decline in Influence
According to reports from Super Express, former Poland goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski revealed that Lewandowski has lost respect in the Barça dressing room.
“The best players don’t pass him the ball anymore,” Tomaszewski said. “It’s the end. He should leave now and take on a new challenge.”
Lewandowski, 35, now faces increased competition at Barcelona following the arrival of Marcus Rashford and the rise of Lamine Yamal who has become a guaranteed starter under the new coaching staff.
Saudi Arabia Wants Lewandowski
Clubs in the Saudi Pro League have been monitoring Lewandowski for months. They view him as a potential marquee signing who could boost both the league’s visibility and competitiveness.
While no official offer has been revealed, insiders suggest that Barcelona’s fragile financial situation could push the club to consider a sale especially if a sizable bid arrives.
Lewandowski’s Impact at Barcelona
Since arriving from Bayern Munich in 2022, Lewandowski has been a standout performer at Camp Nou:
- 147 appearances
- 101 goals
- 20 assists
- 2022/23 La Liga Champion
- Top scorer in La Liga 2022/23
Despite a decline last season, he remains one of the club’s most experienced and productive players.
