FC Barcelona v Newcastle United FC - UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Round of 16 Second Leg

Robert Lewandowski is leaving FC Barcelona after four years. The striker announced on Instagram that his contract expires in the summer and that he will leave the club thereafter.

In his statement, Lewandowski wrote: "After four years of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on. I leave with the sense that the job is done. Four seasons, three league titles."

The Polish striker said: "I will never forget the affection the fans have shown me from the start. Catalonia is my home. Thank you to everyone I have met during these wonderful four years."

He also thanked President Joan Laporta, "who gave me the chance to experience the most incredible chapter of my career". He concluded by saying: "Barça is back where it belongs. Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya."

Where is Lewandowski heading?

The Polish forward joined Barcelona from FC Bayern Munich in 2022. In 191 competitive appearances for the Catalans, he has scored 119 goals and provided 24 assists. 

Although Barca have offered the now 37-year-old a contract extension, the terms include a lower salary and less guaranteed playing time.

Clubs in the US and Saudi Arabia have already expressed interest, as has Juventus Turin, who are reportedly keen on securing his services.
