Robert Lewandowski’s incredible 2024–25 season at Barcelona, in which he scored 42 goals in 52 games, has not only won him praise but also high-stakes transfer interest from the Saudi Pro League. He is still producing on the field at the age of 36, and his contract has an optional extension through the summer of 2026. On an internal level, Barcelona has also exercised that option and is considering future options like Ferran Torres or Dani Olmo.

Saudi clubs, including one related to Barcelona’s rival club, are apparently preparing mouth-watering bids well in excess of €40 million net every season, despite recent denials. When Lewandowski’s contract with Barcelona expires in 2026, he is rumored to accept a multi-year agreement to move to the Middle East. 

Will Barcelona let him go?

Lewandowski’s 36-year-old productivity has led Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, to claim that a rotation and rest schedule is in place to manage his fitness and performance. However, Deco also intimated that the team is getting ready for life without him, should he go. The Saudi effort is similar to their previous success in enticing aging superstars Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Firmino, Karim Benzema, and others with enormous contracts. In certain cases, Saudi tracker pay have even topped €100 million a year. Lewandowski faces a decision: honor his contract, continue to compete for the Champions League with Barcelona, and either pursue a glorious ending in Saudi Arabia or potentially complete his career in Europe. Football fans are watching to see if the Polish striker will follow loyalty or money.

Joao Felix has the opportunity to regain momentum in a league that is becoming more and more populated by established European talent now that he is back with fellow countrymen Ronaldo and Jesus. However, there are still questions about whether this was an early prospective capitulation or a planned reset. Saudi celebrities are in the public eye, and Felix’s next chapter may determine his legacy and whether it is a narrative of redemption or a warning about what may have been.
