Saudi Arabia and Atlético Madrid Persist in Pursuing Lewandowski

Robert Lewandowski has made the decision to stay at FC Barcelona next season (he has a contract until 2026) and turn down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia. However, both the Arab football scene and Atlético Madrid, which has him on its radar, are not giving up on the Polish striker. According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Polish ‘killer’ is firm in his decision and understands that his choice is final, so there are no plans for a transfer next summer. But the report also states that there is still a lot of interest from the wealthy Saudi league and European clubs closely monitoring his situation, with Atlético Madrid being highlighted in this regard. Happy in Barcelona and at Barça Lewy is very comfortable at Barça, as he has reiterated in all interviews in recent weeks, including one with sport.es, where he showed off fluent Spanish and complete integration. “I want to debut at the Camp Nou,” was his clear response about his future. The Polish ‘killer’ is also in a very good moment of form. While it may not be his best season, a goal in the last league match at the Metropolitano ended a brief goal drought of 3 league games. He was decisive in the 0-3 rout, providing 2 assists for the other goals. And in the Champions League round of 16, he scored in both legs against Diego Armando Maradona and Montjuïc. In addition, this week he celebrated with great joy the qualification for the Euros with his national team. Lewandowski confidently took the first penalty in the shootout against Wales, boosting confidence for his Polish teammates.
