Robert Lewandowski will continue to compete for Barcelona in the new season, although he could have chosen to go to Saudi Arabia to receive an unprecedented huge check.

The Polish striker rejected a crazy offer from Saudi Arabia. His agent Pini Zahavi revealed to Fakt: "A year ago, he received a 100 million euro per season offer from Saudi Arabia (note: every season!), but he was unwilling to accept it. "The Polish striker values competitive pursuits more: "He wants to compete for La Liga and Champions League for Barcelona - he almost did it."

Zahavi emphasized: "Lewand not transfers for money. "Quality of life is the key: "He attaches great importance to the living environment, and his life and playing in Barcelona now make him happy. "For the Saudi League, the agent said bluntly: "They have oversized players and are still limited by foreign players. Could he go? Of course. But does he think? Never. "

Where will Lewand do after 2026?

Lewandow's contract has been automatically renewed until June 2026 after reaching the number of appearances clause. Zahavi said: "He believes he can still maintain the top level for several years. "Whether to stay in the team will depend on "performance and physical fitness this season."

Barcelona management has begun planning a successor at No. 9. The team led by sports director Deco plans to introduce new shooters in 2026. Club insiders revealed that the goal is an instant striker, with potential candidates including Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, and there are other candidate targets.
