Robert Lewandowski Confirms Barcelona Exit After Four Years

His departure sets up a high-profile free agency with interest from Saudi Arabia, MLS and Italy.

Overview

  • The Poland striker, who announced Saturday he will leave when his deal expires in June, received an emotional send-off at Camp Nou on Sunday against Real Betis.
  • He will become a free agent next month and has not chosen his next club, with multiple outlets reporting offers or interest from Saudi Pro League teams, MLS sides and Italian clubs.
  • Across four seasons he scored 119 goals in 191 games and won seven trophies, including three LaLiga titles, one Copa del Rey and three Spanish Super Cups.
  • This season he dealt with injuries and fewer starts, logging 15 starts in 29 league appearances, and reports say Barcelona proposed a one-year extension on reduced terms and a backup role.
  • Teammates, fans and coach Hansi Flick lauded his leadership in the club’s rebuild, with postmatch tributes and a guard of honor marking his final home game.
