The saga is over: Robert Lewandowski (37) is leaving Barcelona! According to international media and the Polish publication "WP Sportowe Fakty," the experienced striker has received an offer he cannot refuse and is on the brink of signing with Saudi Al Hilal.

The figure being discussed is absolutely unbelievable – Lewandowski is being offered a salary of £90 million per season! This would be undoubtedly the most lucrative contract in his already rich career, and a boon for Barcelona, which has been struggling with chronic financial problems and eagerly awaits reducing his enormous salary from its budget.

If the transfer materializes, Lewandowski will join Serbian national team player Sergej Milinković-Savić in Riyadh, who has already become the first star of the team. The squad, adorned with a famous star, is led by former Inter coach Simone Inzaghi, and Lewandowski will be joining a "legion of foreigners" in Saudi Arabia.

In addition to Milinković-Savić, the team boasts players like Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, as well as newcomers Theo Hernández and Darwin Núñez, with media reports suggesting Karim Benzema (also linked to this project) could be his attacking partner.

While Juventus, Milan, and the American club Chicago Fire had shown interest in Lewandowski, it seems that Arab money has won out. The Polish striker has scored over 700 goals in his career, winning everything possible with Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona, and was named the best player in the world by FIFA in 2020 and 2021.

The move to Al Hilal would signify the definitive end of one of the most dominant eras in European football history, but also confirm that the Saudi Professional League has no intention of stopping in bringing the biggest names in global sports.
