Saudi League calling? Robert Lewandowski rejects new Barcelona deal

Barcelona’s hopes of counting on Poland international Robert Lewandowski in their long-term future has hit a snag after the 35-year-old apparently rejected a chance to extend his current contract according to the club’s president Joan Laporta.

Speaking in a recent interview, Laporta suggested that Lewandowski has decided not to continue with the Spanish giants, saying, “Robert Lewandowski has rejected important financial proposals to stay at Barcelona.”

The Barcelona president’s comments suggest that the striker’s exit is sealed when his current deal expires, barring a remarkable U-turn.

Lewandowski’s current contract with Barcelona expires in 2026, meaning the veteran striker still has two years left in Catalonia if he does not secure a move away from the club.

The former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich striker has been with Barcelona since 2022 and has played 95 matches, scoring 59 goals and helping the Blaugrana to the LaLiga title as well as the Supercopa de Espana in his first season.
