Barcelona prepared to sell Lewandowski this summer despite recent upturn in form

There’s little doubt that Robert Lewandowski has struggled for form this season, although there are signs that he is getting back to the performances he showed upon joining Barcelona from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022.

Lewandowski has scored nine goals so far in 2024, and has also bagged five in his last four matches – the latest of which came against Napoli on Wednesday night. However, despite this upturn in form, it may not save him from the exit door this summer.

According to a report from The Athletic, Barcelona are prepared to sell Lewandowski – provided that they receive a lucrative offer for the 35-year-old. Saudi Arabia have shown interest in the last 12 months, and that is the sort of avenue that could be explored by the Catalan side, who are aiming to ease their financial woes.

However, the power in the situation is in Lewandowski’s hands. He has a contract until 2025 at the least (it can be extended by a further year), and he currently has no interest whatsoever in leaving Barcelona, which would stop any potential sale in its tracks.
