Lewandowski Urged to Leave Barcelona for Saudi Arabia

Bornheimer – Polish national team legend Jan Tomaszewski has sparked debate after advising Robert Lewandowski to leave Barcelona. In a recent interview with Mundo Deportivo, Tomaszewski suggested that Lewandowski, now 36 years old, should end his chapter at Camp Nou. While the striker remains a key figure since arriving from Bayern Munich in 2022, Tomaszewski believes the physical and mental toll of playing for such a demanding club is no longer sustainable for him.

Saudi Pro League as a Logical Next Step

Tomaszewski pointed to the Saudi Pro League as the ideal destination for Lewandowski’s career twilight. He argued that the league offers a less physically intense environment and has become attractive for elite players. Although Lionel Messi chose the MLS instead, the influx of stars to Saudi Arabia sets a strong precedent. For Tomaszewski, this move could preserve Lewandowski’s legacy and give him a more respectful ending to his stellar career.

Internal Rift at Barcelona Raises Doubts

Perhaps the most controversial claim from Tomaszewski is that Lewandowski is no longer trusted within the Barcelona squad. According to him, key teammates avoid passing the ball to the veteran forward, indicating a loss of status in the dressing room. This breakdown in chemistry, if true, could significantly impact both performance and morale. Tomaszewski warned that staying under such conditions could tarnish Lewandowski’s final years as a professional footballer.

Lewandowski Remains Firm in His Commitment

Despite the criticism and calls to leave, Lewandowski has publicly reaffirmed his loyalty to Barcelona. In a separate interview, he declared his intention to stay and continue contributing to the team. Having scored 42 goals in all competitions last season, he remains one of the club’s most productive players. His determination signals that he’s not ready to give up on his Barça journey just yet—regardless of outside opinions.

A Career at a Crossroads: What Lies Ahead

As Barcelona prepares for the 2025/26 season, the situation surrounding Lewandowski remains uncertain. Will the club support his continued presence, or begin to phase him out? And will Saudi clubs come knocking with tempting offers? The next few months could define how one of Europe’s greatest strikers ends his career—either in the heat of Saudi Arabia or under the lights of Camp Nou. What’s clear is that Lewandowski’s next step will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
