In general, international breaks are hardly the events that generate a lot of interest and excitement among the fans of club football, but the current break still provided FC Barcelona fans with a lot to look forward to.
For instance, youngsters like Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal shone with the Spain senior side, and are expected to be key parts of the team that will try to win the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024. However, these youngsters will have to face Robert Lewandowski and his Poland side in this tournament, as the Poles were able to qualify for the tournament with their win over Wales.
While Lewandowski guaranteed his presence in the European international competition with this win, his future at Barcelona is far from certain at the moment. The veteran striker has been able to recoup his form after having suffered for much part of the first half of the season, and his performances are also attracting interest from around the world.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Saudi clubs remain highly interested in the player, while another club from Spain, Atletico Madrid, are now also keeping their eyes on the Polish striker.
Lewandowski already has an offer of more than €100 million on the table from the Saudis, but even such a sum has not been able to entice the Pole, who currently thinks only about continuing at Barcelona at the moment.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are also trying to get their hands on the veteran striker, and repeat the successful formula that they applied to players like David Villa and Luis Suarez in recent years.
There is no doubt that despite his age, Lewandowski is still a highly fit player, and will be capable of performing at the highest level for some more years. His experience is another positive attribute, and it is not difficult to understand why these sides are willing to make such a financial effort to sign the Barcelona ace.
