Barca’s star striker Robert Lewandowski appears to be edging closer to a surprising new chapter—one set in Saudi Arabia. Following the footsteps of football giants like Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, the Polish forward is rumored to be the next big name heading to the desert league.According to the Saudi sports outlet Al-Riyadiyah, Lewandowski has expressed a desire to join the Saudi Pro League once his current Barcelona contract expires in the summer of 2026. This claim reportedly stems from a representative of Gol International, Lewandowski’s agency. While no formal negotiations have started yet, the paper confidently states: “That will happen – and the Saudi Pro League will see Lewandowski in one of its teams.”🚨 BREAKING: Robert Lewandowski has an AGREEMENT with the Saudi Pro League to join the Arab league after his contract with #FCBarcelona ends in 2026.
