Overview
- Lewandowski is widely reported to be on the verge of announcing his departure, with multiple outlets expecting clarity around Sunday’s home game against Real Betis as Al-Hilal leads with a formal offer.
- Polish and Spanish reports say the Saudi proposal is about €90 million per season, though some coverage cites a higher $105 million figure, which remains unconfirmed.
- He has stayed publicly non‑committal and plans a final conversation with coach Hansi Flick, as Barcelona’s verbal one‑year extension would cut his pay and cast him in a backup role.
- Chicago Fire remain an option with a franchise player pitch, yet the long MLS travel schedule weighs on family time, while Saudi Arabia offers shorter trips to Europe and far higher pay.
- Porto’s president ruled his club out as the move is “financially impossible,” and Saudi clubs are pressing hard, with Al-Hilal’s star‑laden project part of a broader push that has already drawn Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
