Lewandowski is reportedly edging closer to a sensational departure from FC Barcelona as interest from the Middle East continues to intensify.
The veteran striker is said to be close to accepting a life-changing financial package to move to the Middle East this summer.
Lewandowski’s future at “Camp Nou” has been seriously called into question following reports that Saudi giants Al-Hilal have submitted an official contract offer.
According to WP Sportowe Fakty, the Riyadh-based club is determined to secure the services of the 37-year-old striker as they aim to strengthen their attacking line with another global football icon.
Although several clubs have recently been linked with the Polish international forward — including Juventus FC, AC Milan, and MLS side Chicago Fire FC — Al-Hilal has emerged as the leading favorite.
Reports suggest that the Saudi club is close to reaching an agreement, while sources close to the situation claim that Lewandowski is “close to accepting” the proposal, which would bring an end to his La Liga adventure.
The scale of the offer is truly extraordinary, even by the recent spending standards of the Saudi Pro League. Lewandowski has reportedly been offered a staggering salary of €90 million per season to complete the move.
It would undoubtedly become the most lucrative contract of his illustrious career, significantly surpassing his current earnings in Catalonia.
Despite earlier reports from Spanish outlet AS suggesting that geopolitical concerns could discourage the striker from moving to the Middle East, it now appears that the sheer financial weight of the offer has completely changed the situation.
