Robert Lewandowski is moving closer to the exit at Barcelona after Al-Hilal submitted a formal contract offer and sources said the 37-year-old is close to accepting it. The Saudi Pro League club has intensified its push for the striker with a proposal worth €90 million per season, a figure that would put one of football’s most lucrative deals on the table.
WP Sportowe Fakty reported that Al-Hilal are determined to sign Lewandowski, and the timing has sharpened the pressure around his future in Spain. Juventus, AC Milan and Chicago Fire were linked with him in recent weeks, but Al-Hilal now appear to have moved ahead of the chase with a concrete offer.
If Lewandowski accepts, it would end his stint in La Liga and send him into a squad that already carries serious star power. Al-Hilal are coached by Simone Inzaghi and already include Karim Benzema, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, Theo Hernandez, Darwin Nunez and Malcom, underlining the scale of the project that is now being pitched to the Poland captain.
Lewandowski’s future at the Nou Camp is under serious scrutiny, and Barcelona’s financial challenges are part of the backdrop. A departure would ease a wage bill that has been stretched for some time, which is one reason the club is being watched closely as talks develop. Previous reports from AS had suggested geopolitical concerns could also weigh on whether he would move to the Middle East, but the latest signals point toward a deal that is now gathering momentum rather than slowing down.
The next step is whether Lewandowski formally accepts Al-Hilal’s offer and confirms a move that would reshape both Barcelona’s attack and the Saudi club’s already loaded front line. For now, the balance of the story is simple: Al-Hilal have made their move, and Lewandowski is said to be close to saying yes.
