BARCELONA, Spain – FC Barcelona have officially confirmed that legendary Polish striker Robert Lewandowski will depart the club at the end of the 2025–26 campaign, bringing down the curtain on a trophy-laden four-year spell in Catalonia.
Okay News reports that the 37-year-old forward has already bid an emotional farewell to his teammates and coaching staff during a training session earlier this week. The veteran marksman took to social media on Saturday, May 16, 2026, to express his gratitude to the fans and club President Joan Laporta, declaring that his “mission is complete.” Lewandowski’s final appearance in front of the Blaugrana faithful will take place this Sunday during a home clash against Real Betis.
Lewandowski leaves an indelible mark on Barcelona’s history, having registered an astonishing 119 goals in 191 appearances since his €50 million arrival from Bayern Munich in 2022. His tenure was filled with clinical brilliance, highlighted by winning the Pichichi Trophy in his debut season to secure the league title, followed by a starring role in the club’s domestic treble during the 2024–25 campaign, where he scored 42 goals across all competitions. In total, the striker claims seven major trophies with the club, including three La Liga titles and three Spanish Super Cups.
With his contract entering its final weeks, speculation regarding his next destination has reached a fever pitch. Reports indicate that Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal have put forward a staggering, record-breaking salary offer in the region of €90 million per season to lure him to Riyadh. However, a move to the Middle East is not a foregone conclusion. Major League Soccer (MLS) outfits, particularly the Chicago Fire, are heavily tracking the player, and Lewandowski himself recently hinted at a potential move to North America as he approaches his 38th birthday, noting that he is carefully weighing his options for the final chapter of his career.
