Overview
- SportItalia, relayed by Sportbild, reports AC Milan intends to try for a winter transfer rather than wait until season’s end.
- Barcelona is assessing whether to renew Lewandowski’s expiring deal, with reporting noting a club option exists but looks unlikely to be used.
- Selling in January would bring a fee, whereas keeping him through the season risks a free departure in the summer, according to the reports.
- The 37-year-old wants to remain in Spain—ideally at Barcelona—and is said to be willing to take a significant pay cut while rejecting Saudi Arabia and MLS options.
- Under Hansi Flick, Lewandowski has moved into a reduced role yet has scored four goals in eight LaLiga appearances, as Barcelona also searches for a successor.
