Robert Lewandowski is focused on securing his spot at his third World Cup, making international duty his immediate priority. Meanwhile, his future beyond the summer remains uncertain.
Juventus has shown strong interest in the 38-year-old forward, recently sending scouts to observe him in a key World Cup qualifying playoff match, where Lewandowski scored. The Italian club has already contacted his representatives, signaling serious intentions.
Despite this, Lewandowski is in no rush to make a decision. He plans to wait until late April before committing and considers Barcelona’s offer to stay for another season, which includes a reduced salary befitting his age and role. He and his family feel at home in Catalonia and even contemplate settling there after retirement.
Other suitors include AC Milan and MLS side Chicago Fire, the latter having expressed direct interest. There’s also some attention from Saudi Arabia, though Lewandowski himself does not see moving there as an option. Meanwhile, his performance on the pitch remains impressive — 117 goals for Barcelona, 16 this season, maintaining a high goal-per-minute ratio in his fourth campaign.
In sum, the growing competition for Lewandowski's signature and his cautious approach to choosing his future make this one of the most compelling transfer sagas ahead of next season. It affects Barcelona’s team-building and financial planning, while giving Lewandowski time to thoroughly weigh his options.
