Barcelona ace Robert Lewandowski has ‘five serious offers’ – including one from Atletico

Robert Lewandowski faces a pivotal summer as the 37-year-old striker weighs up “five serious offers” while entering the final months of his Barcelona contract, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Atletico Madrid have emerged as a surprise suitor, while Major League Soccer’s Chicago Fire, AC Milan, Turkish giants Fenerbahce and an unnamed Saudi Arabian club have also tabled proposals. Despite the external interest, Lewandowski’s first choice remains a renewed deal at Camp Nou, even if it requires accepting a significant reduction on his current salary.

Barcelona sporting director Deco told Sport this week that no resolution is imminent. “I think time will take care of it. I think Robert also has his personal plans and from there, we’ll see,” Deco said. “Before we also need to know a little about how we have Fair Play, we have to clarify the future of the squad and we have not yet reached this point. The moment we are clear about everything we can do, we will face the issues we have, such as Robert’s.”

Mundo Deportivo report that the Poland captain will hold off on any commitment until April, when he expects clearer guidance on Barcelona’s financial position and squad planning. The veteran forward has maintained strong form this season, reinforcing his reputation as, in Deco’s words, “one of the best strikers in the world.”

With the clock ticking on both the season and his existing deal, Lewandowski’s decision will shape the attacking landscape for several clubs across Europe and beyond.
