Robert Lewandowski is prepared to end his spell at Barcelona this summer as the veteran striker seeks a fresh challenge.
Undoubtedly one of the best striker in football history, Lewandowski has continued to defy age by playing at the highest level at 37. The former Bayern Munich striker has been instrumental in Barcelona’s success since he joined in 2022.
However, latest report from Guillem Ballague in a new column for BBC Sport, claim Lewandowski will leave Barcelona at the end of the season.
Barcelona are willing to extend Lewandowski’s deal for another year, but the proposed terms included a significant salary reduction and a diminished squad role, which did not appeal to the striker.

Reports suggest that Juventus and AC Milan are in active discussions over potentially signing him as a free agent this summer. Both clubs are willing to offer him the prominent role he still craves at the elite level.
Lewandowski’s situation at Barcelona has also caught the attention of clubs in the Major League Soccer, specifically the Chicago Fire. However, those links have reportedly cooled as the Barcelona forward prioritises staying in Europe.
With Lewandowski now set to leave Barcelona, the Catalonia club have shifted their attention towards signing Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez this summer.
Ballague adds that the club have made Alvarez their top priority in the upcoming summer transfer window.
