According to SPORT, for the first time since joining Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski has hinted at a potential move to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season.
Notably, Lewandowski’s current contract with Barcelona expires at the conclusion of the season, so the coming months will be crucial.
At 37 years old, the striker has already sparked significant interest in Saudi Arabian football.
Until today, Lewandowski had showed little interest in even discussing those possibilities.
For a long time, the Pole felt comfortable in Barcelona, both professionally and personally.
Despite the financial appeal, his choice to reject the multimillion-pound offers from Saudi Arabia was heavily influenced by his feeling of stability.
So, what changed?
What has changed this season is Lewandowski’s position under Hansi Flick.
While he continues to contribute and embrace his obligations professionally, he is no longer assured a starting position every week.

Flick’s approach has necessitated more rotation, and Lewandowski has increasingly found himself in a supporting role. Naturally, this has sparked introspection.
The striker is well aware that his contract expires at the end of the season, and his future at Barcelona is far from clear.
Against this backdrop, Lewandowski has grown more susceptible to interest from Saudi football, with Al-Hilal leading the charge.
What happens now?
Al-Hilal even considered moving Lewandowski’s arrival to the current winter transfer window.
However, that option is now ruled out, with all parties planning to reassess the situation in the summer.
For the time being, the Polish striker is still determined to complete the season strong with Barcelona.
Everything now relies on Barcelona’s next move, as Lewandowski awaits the club’s contract offer.
If the proposal is regarded too modest or short-term, his prospects of moving to Saudi Arabia improve dramatically.
