According to World Sports, many Saudi league clubs are closely following the trends of Barcelona striker Lewandowski, and have even explored the possibility of a transfer this summer through their team.
The Polish striker has one year left in his contract with Barcelona, but according to people around him, the player has no intention of leaving the team - Lewandowski's family is very adaptable to life in the Catalonian capital, and he himself is satisfied with the club. Even though he is 36 years old, Lewandowski still scored 42 goals last season, which is enough to prove that his condition is still the same.
However, internal Barcelona is still concerned about Saudi interest. On the one hand, the Saudi club's strong financial resources are enough to pose a real threat. And Lewandowski's situation is particularly special - its contract is only one year left, while Saudi Arabia can offer sky-high contracts for three to four years.
What makes Barcelona passive is that the Saudi transfer window will continue to be open until September 23 - far exceeding the closing deadline of La Liga on September 1. This means that even if Barcelona can no longer sign any non-free agents by then, Saudi clubs can still poach Barcelona's core players within these three weeks.
Although Flick included Lewandowski in the plan, considering age factors, the coaching staff will inevitably gradually control their playing time. Ferran Torres' outstanding performance in the center position also provided conditions for Lewandowski's respite. In addition, both Rashford and Olmo are competent for the position.

Barcelona recognizes Lewand's competitive value, but if the player receives a huge offer far exceeds the existing contract, the club is open to the transfer. Because Lewandowski always acts very professional and has a role model for self-discipline – these factors will prompt management to maintain understanding of its choices.
Of course, the premise is that Saudi Arabia must pay a considerable transfer fee: although the Saudi team can offer sky-high contracts for players, poaching teams also require real money. In order to sign Lewandowski, the transfer fee for Barcelona to return was a fixed 45 million euros + 5 million floating clause.
