Lewandowski at the crossroads: five offers could reshuffle his future beyond Barcelona
Lewandowski's next move could redefine the summer transfer window.

Lewandowski's Barcelona contract on hold as offers surface

Lewandowski, 37, whose deal with Barcelona runs until June 30, is weighing his future in a calm, methodical way.

He won't reach a final decision before April, following Barcelona's presidential election on March 15.

When April arrives, he will study Barcelona's renewal offer alongside several other available options.

According to Daily Mail sources close to the striker, he has received five solid offers to extend his career away from Barcelona.

Media outlets have linked Chicago Fire, an MLS side, with the player since Bild first reported the interest in December.

Moreover, his wife Anna Lewandowska has been in the United States on a work trip, and it’s understood the family is considering happiness there.

Options including Milan, Atlético Madrid, Fenerbahçe, and the Saudi league exist, though they are reportedly less compelling than the US option.

Given that he will turn 38 at the start of next season (birthday August 21), money isn’t the sole driver for the Polish striker; his focus is on stability and family happiness.

For this reason, he would prioritize Barcelona if a renewal offer—even a reduced one—meets his needs.

Punchline time: If Lewandowski signs elsewhere, Barcelona might finally discover what it’s like to have a player who refuses to go gently into the night. Sniper-level focus, even in transfer season.

Secondly: If family happiness were a trophy, he’d already have a cabinet full. And if the Wi‑Fi in a sunny city is strong enough to stream every game, well, that’s practically a transfer bonus.
