Robert Lewandowski ended his impactful four-year spell at Barcelona in the summer of 2026, having scored 120 goals to become one of the club’s all-time top scorers.

His former agent, Cezary Kucharski, revealed that Lewandowski was very close to joining Real Madrid before moving to Bayern Munich, with Madrid offering 20% better conditions. However, the agent advised Lewandowski to stay as a main star at Bayern rather than risk a reserve role at Real Madrid.

Despite the failed Madrid deal, Lewandowski fulfilled his ambition to play in La Liga by signing for Barcelona, where he thrived despite the club’s financial challenges.

Since leaving Barcelona, Lewandowski has focused on recovery and planning his next career steps, though detailed information about his current activities remains undisclosed. Kucharski also pointed out that top clubs have continuously shown interest in him, keeping his market value and career prospects strong beyond the Camp Nou.
