AC Milan's Bold Summer Gambit: Lewandowski Could Redefine the Rossoneri
12 November 2025
The Lewandowski pursuit and Milan's summer plan
AC Milan is lining up an ambitious summer move, aiming to sign Barcelona's Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, whose contract expires this summer.
According to Sky Sports, Lewandowski has attracted interest from several European giants, with Saudi clubs also ready to splash big money, but Milan's project could be particularly appealing, and the 37-year-old forward has not ruled out one more challenge in Italy.
A pivotal meeting is expected between Milan's sporting director Igli Tari and Lewandowski's camp, with agent Pini Zahavi to discuss a salary package that would fit the Rossoneri's finances.
Milan is hoping to replicate the Giroud model: sign a veteran forward later in his career who can become a central piece and transfer know-how to younger players, hoping Lewandowski's professionalism leaves a lasting imprint.
Ibrahimović, now part of Milan's management, is a key driver of the pursuit.
The Swedish superstar argues Lewandowski embodies the club's values and could serve as a role model for the youngsters, much as Ibrahimović has done in recent seasons.
As things stand, there is no formal agreement yet; talks are in the early stages, but Milan's plan, plus a potential path to the Champions League in a stable, competitive environment, could persuade the Polish star.
A legend's journey and what Lewandowski could bring to Italy
Lewandowski's journey stands as one of modern football's great stories.
Born in Warsaw on August 21, 1988, he started at a local academy and quickly showed a knack for scoring and smart movement in and around the box.
His professional journey then took him to Lech Poznań, where he began to stand out as a goal threat and attract European interest.
In 2010 he moved to Borussia Dortmund, where under Jurgen Klopp he developed into a European force, helping Dortmund win back-to-back Bundesliga titles and reach the Champions League final in 2013.
Under Klopp he blossomed, becoming a feared goalscorer who fired Dortmund to league glory and deep runs in the Champions League.
He moved to Bayern Munich in 2014 and became one of the most lethal forwards in the club's history, registering over 300 goals and lifting multiple domestic and continental titles, including the 2019-2020 Champions League.
Internationally he was Poland's backbone, featuring in World Cups and European Championships and contributing crucial goals to help Poland reach finals and becoming the nation's all-time top scorer.
In 2022 he moved to Barcelona seeking a new challenge in La Liga, adapting quickly and continuing to make an impact with the Catalan club.
Lewandowski's career has been defined by his ability to score from all angles, physical presence, tactical intelligence, and the instinct to play as a traditional center-forward—a true legend not only in Germany and Poland but across Europe and the world.
The numbers, trophies and leadership aside, Lewandowski has always been known for his consistency, drive, and capacity to deliver in the moments that matter.
Punchline 1: If Milan pull this off, Lewandowski might finally learn what "Rossoneri" means—red and black with extra helpings of goal cuisine.
Punchline 2: And if football were a season of bake-off, Milan would be bringing a 7-layer mille-feuille of ambition to the table. Bon appétit, transfer window!
