Polish striker Robert Lewandowski is set to leave FC Barcelona at the end of the season as a free agent, bringing an end to one of the club’s most successful modern attacking eras with a famous attacking trio, a combination of himself, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.
The 37-year-old forward confirmed his departure through social media, describing his time in Catalonia as a “mission complete” after helping Barcelona win multiple domestic trophies since arriving from Bayern Munich in 2022.
Lewandowski leaves the club after scoring 119 goals in all competitions and playing a major role in Barcelona’s return to dominance in La Liga. During his time at Camp Nou, he helped the club win three league titles, one Copa del Rey trophy, and several Spanish Super Cups.
Even in his final season, despite injury struggles and reduced playing time, the Polish star remained decisive in important matches, including scoring crucial goals during Barcelona’s title-winning campaign.
When Lewandowski joined Barcelona from Bayern Munich in 2022, many questioned whether the striker could maintain elite form outside Germany.
Instead, he quickly became one of the faces of the club’s rebuilding project during one of the most financially difficult periods in Barcelona’s modern history.
His arrival also brought leadership and experience to a younger squad that later developed around players like Pedri, Gavi, and Lamine Yamal.
Lewandowski’s market value is currently estimated at around $9.7 million as several clubs in Saudi Arabia, Italy and the United States reportedly monitor his situation ahead of free agency.
Reports suggest teams from Major League Soccer, Saudi Pro League and even European giants such as Juventus and Porto have already shown interest in signing the veteran striker.
Despite nearing the end of his career, Lewandowski remains one of the most respected strikers of his generation.
Across spells with Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona, he built a reputation as one of football’s deadliest finishers, scoring more than 700 career goals for club and country.
His final home appearance for Barcelona is expected to be highly emotional as fans prepare to say goodbye to one of the club’s most influential forwards of the past decade.
