After a slow start to the season, Robert Lewandowski is back to his best as he is putting in good numbers for FC Barcelona. However, he is in the news not only for his performances on the pitch.
With his experience and proven pedigree of being one of the deadliest strikers in Europe, Robert Lewandowski is guaranteed to be an upgrade on the striker position for most clubs in the world. As a result, he has been pursued by several sides in the past, as the PSG President recently claimed.
Saudi sides still interested in Lewandowski
Now, a report from SPORT claims that several sides in Saudi Arabia are still interested in getting Lewandowski in the coming months. There were approaches made to sign the prolific Pole in the past summer transfer window, but the striker himself closed the door for all such prospective parties.
However, Barcelona understand that Lewandowski will have only one year remaining in his contract in the upcoming summer, and the Saudis will come back for him. Everything will depend on Lewandowski himself, who is currently very comfortable at Barcelona and made a great effort to join the Catalans a year ago.
Lewandowski’s future uncertain at Barcelona
The report mentions that four Saudi clubs tried to tempt Lewandowski to move to Saudi Arabia but had no success. However, his name is already being whispered at Abha club, which was one of these four clubs and has a former Poland gaffer as their head coach, as the big signing for the next season.
Lewandowski is the leader of the attack at Barcelona, and although he has not scored as regularly for the Catalans this season, he still has the fitness to play at the highest level for years to come. However, his current contract is approaching its end fast, and the club can also offer him a one-year renewal if his performance and desire to keep playing at the highest level remain at the current level.
