Lewandowski Poised to Leave Barcelona After Season, Says Wife

His contract expires in June, with Barcelona prioritizing a new No. 9 this summer.

Overview

  • Anna Lewandowska said this will probably be Robert Lewandowski’s last season at Barcelona and the family is intent on savoring the remaining months.
  • Lewandowski is under contract until June 30 and, under FIFA rules, can negotiate a pre-contract with other clubs in the final months.
  • Reporting indicates Barcelona plan to recruit a new center forward and that any continuation for Lewandowski would likely mean a major wage cut and a reduced role.
  • Speculation links the striker to potential moves including MLS—with unconfirmed reports of talks with the Chicago Fire—as well as interest from Saudi and European clubs.
  • Despite the off-field questions, Lewandowski’s near-term focus includes Barcelona’s season objectives and Poland’s World Cup playoff in March.
