Robert Lewandowski could become one of the main names in the upcoming summer transfer market if he ultimately does not renew with FC Barcelona. His contract expires in June, and although he has not made a decision yet, the scenario is starting to stir.

The Polish forward, who maintains competitive numbers in LaLiga despite his more limited role, will wait for the FC Barcelona elections before defining his future. Until then, all options remain open.

Atlético Madrid studies Robert Lewandowski

As reported by 'ElDesmarque', Atlético Madrid has already made a move. The Metropolitano club is considering the possibility of incorporating a veteran forward who arrives on a free transfer, following a formula that has yielded results in the past.

Recent history in LaLiga supports this strategy. First, it was David Villa, a key piece in the 2014 title. Then came Luis Suárez, decisive in the 2021 championship. Both landed from FC Barcelona.

Now, the name on the red and white radar is Robert Lewandowski. The club believes his experience, leadership, and goal-scoring instinct fit Diego Simeone's competitive model.

Atlético Madrid knows it won't be a straightforward operation, but the fact that he could arrive for free changes the scenario. At 37 years old, the Pole remains a respected forward in the market.

Lewandowski appears on Atlético's agenda

FC Barcelona and the decision after the elections

FC Barcelona does not rule out his continuity, albeit under new economic conditions. The proposal would involve a contract renewal with lower terms and a less prominent role in the offensive rotation.

The blaugrana squad values his professionalism and influence on a young group. In a squad under construction, his presence represents experience and competitive demand in LaLiga and Europe.

However, the forward prioritizes personal and family stability. Barcelona has become a comfortable environment, and that factor weighs more than any exotic or financially superior offer.

Aside from Atlético Madrid, other clubs have shown interest. From the MLS to Italy or Turkey, including proposals from Saudi football. In total, five real alternatives are on the table.

The LaLiga precedent that entices the Metropolitano

Atlético Madrid sees the pattern could repeat. A veteran striker, with unfinished business and competitive hunger, can make a difference in the title race. Robert Lewandowski knows LaLiga perfectly. He understands the demands of each stadium and defense. His adaptation would no longer be a question but a guarantee.

At FC Barcelona, they will not force the situation. They will wait to know his final stance after March 15th. If he decides to leave, there will be no obstacles. Meanwhile, the red and white team observes in silence. If the Pole chooses not to renew, Atlético Madrid will try to seize the market opportunity.

Robert Lewandowski faces a crucial decision. His priority is to stay at FC Barcelona, but the option of Atlético Madrid, arriving for free with immediate prominence in LaLiga, entices the forward's surroundings.
