Robert Lewandowski Reportedly Close to Barcelona Exit Amid Growing Uncertainty
Speculation surrounding the future of Robert Lewandowski continues to intensify, with multiple reports suggesting the veteran striker could be nearing the end of his time at FC Barcelona.
According to reports shared by football source ReshadFCB, Lewandowski is now close to leaving Barcelona as uncertainty grows over his contract situation and long-term role at the club. Recent reports from Spain and Poland indicate that discussions over a renewal have stalled, while interest from clubs in Major League Soccer and Saudi Arabia continues to increase.
The 37-year-old striker has enjoyed a highly successful spell in Catalonia since joining Barcelona from Bayern Munich in 2022. During his time at the club, Lewandowski helped Barça win multiple domestic trophies while continuing to deliver goals at an elite level. He recently surpassed 100 goal involvements in La Liga for the club and broke another UEFA Champions League scoring record earlier this year.
Despite his contributions, Barcelona are reportedly preparing for a long-term transition in attack. Financial pressures, Lewandowski’s high wages, and the club’s search for a younger forward have all contributed to doubts over his future. Reports suggest the club is already exploring possible replacements, with names like Julián Álvarez being linked internally.
Interest from the United States appears especially strong. MLS side Chicago Fire are reportedly ready to offer Lewandowski a lucrative contract if he decides to leave Europe, while Saudi Arabian clubs are also monitoring the situation closely.
Lewandowski himself has not confirmed any final decision, but he recently admitted that he is keeping his options open and will carefully consider both football and family factors before deciding his next move.
If the Polish forward eventually departs, it would mark the end of an important era for Barcelona. Even in the latter stages of his career, Lewandowski has remained one of Europe’s most reliable goalscorers and a major figure in the club’s rebuilding process under manager Hansi Flick.
