Barcelona superstar whose contract ends in 2026 could sign for Saudi Arabian club next year – Report | OneFootball

The arrival of Hansi Flick on the FC Barcelona bench helped several Blaugrana players take a leap in their performance levels. Players like Raphinha, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Inigo Martinez, Alejandro Balde, and Jules Kounde are all good examples of this phenomenon.

Another player who took great advantage of the German tactician’s arrival was the forward Robert Lewandowski, who once again had a very productive season, scoring 42 goals and providing 3 assists.

Thus, although he will already be 37 years of age by the start of the next season, he is still looking to have another successful season with Barcelona.

Robert Lewandowski could join a Saudi side in 2026

Meanwhile, these performances have also led to his increased demand in the market, and he has enjoyed a lot of interest from Saudi Arabia in particular. The Pole has declared his intention to continue playing for the Blaugrana team in the recent past, but the Arabs are seemingly not ready to give up on their dream of having the Pole play in their country.

In this regard, a report from Saudi outlet ‘Al-Riyadiyah’ (h/t Mundo Deportivo) claims that the Saudis might finally be able to realize their dream. This report claims that one of the representatives of Lewandowski’s representation agency clarified that there are no talks for his move to the Middle East for now, but Saudi’s expects to see the player join one of its teams next year.

The striker’s last season at Barcelona

As things stand, the Polish veteran has only one year left on his Barcelona contract, and the 2025-26 season is quite likely to be his last season with the Blaugrana team.

During this year, Robert Lewandowski will have plenty of time to assess his future options. But for now, he will be fully focused on playing well with Barcelona and having another memorable season before he says his goodbyes to the Catalan team.
