UEFA Champions League
The future of Robert Lewandowski is once again in the spotlight internationally as the end of his contract with FC Barcelona in June 2026 approaches.
The movements around the Polish striker are increasing every week, with clubs from different leagues engaging in preliminary talks and evaluating a scenario where he could become a free agent.
FC Barcelona and the scenario accelerating the market
Robert Lewandowski remains calm about his future and repeats that he has not yet chosen a path. He insists he doesn't feel pressure and will make a decision when he deems it appropriate. At FC Barcelona, they are aware that the end of the contract is nearing without signs of renewal, a detail that reinforces the attention of those who see in him a strategic opportunity.
Fenerbahce is one of the most persistent teams and is preparing immediate moves. The Turkish club plans to sell En Nesyri in January, making the Pole their offensive priority. In Istanbul, they claim that their sporting director, Devin Özek, is already working to convince him. If they receive a positive signal, Fenerbahce will start discussions with FC Barcelona without delay.

Fenerbahce, AC Milan, and the pressure for a heavyweight signing
Robert Lewandowski also appears in AC Milan's reports, which wish to strengthen their attack with a high-impact name without incurring transfer costs. The interest is real and has been growing for weeks. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is internally pressuring Milan to clinch the deal. He believes the forward could set an example for a young squad and provide immediate quality reinforcement. However, the salary figures complicate the deal. Milan would need the player to agree to reduce his earnings, which seems challenging according to sources close to Pini Zahavi.
Manchester United is also in the picture, influenced by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's perspective. They rule out assuming a wage close to the 32 million per year he currently receives. The English club values talents with potential and avoids short-term bets, despite the coach's interest, who saw him as an immediate solution to enhance offensive firepower.
Red-and-white interest and the path to Spain
Robert Lewandowski is also considering the option of Atletico de Madrid, where Diego Simeone appreciates his competitive profile and his ability to deliver immediate performance without disrupting the tactical structure. The Atletico sporting direction closely monitors his contractual situation, believing that signing him without cost would fit into an operation similar to those carried out with David Villa or Luis Suarez.
Polish media even suggest that Atletico could be the most likely destination if the striker decides to extend his career in Spain and accept a more moderate salary.
Al Nassr also emerges strongly
Al Nassr has approached Robert Lewandowski with lucrative proposals. The Saudi offer includes figures surpassing previous contracts in the region and an immediate competitive project. The player asked for time before responding and maintains Europe as his top choice, leaving the door open for Fenerbahce, AC Milan, Manchester United, or Atletico de Madrid.
The summer of 2026 will be decisive for all parties involved. With FC Barcelona showing no intentions of renewal, contenders are adjusting strategies in an unusual scenario: a historic goalscorer available without transfer cost. For clubs seeking leadership, goals, and experience, the upcoming market could be the last significant opportunity to secure a figure that, even at 37 years old, maintains an elite competitive level.
