Poland’s Legend Urges ‘Unpopular’ Lewandowski to End Barcelona Stint for a Saudi Arabian Club
Catchy headlines and constant speculation surround Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona. According to a fellow football legend from Poland, it’s high time the superstar takes his step away from the Catalans and sets his sights on a ‘lighter’ club in Saudi Arabia’s Pro League.
Turbulence at Barcelona?
Former Polish goalkeeper, Jan Tomaszewski, voiced his thoughts about Lewandowski’s current situation at Barcelona. Despite the striker’s undeniable success at Barca, the ex-goalkeeper suggests that Lewandowski’s time at the Catalan giants may not be as rosy as it seems. He believes that the 36-year-old striker isn’t getting the support he deserves from his Camp Nou teammates.
What Tomaszewski Suggests
Speaking to Super Express via Mundo Deportivo, Tomaszewski stated, “Robert should finish his time at Barcelona right now and go to a ‘lighter’ club in Saudi Arabia, as the best players in the world have done, except [Lionel] Messi. Let’s face it, this is the end. Robert is not very popular in the team, and the best players in Barcelona don’t pass the ball to him.”
Lewandowski’s Performances
Despite nearing his 37th birthday, Lewandowski shows no signs of hanging up his boots just yet. Last season, he netted an impressive 42 goals, helping Barcelona secure the La Liga and Copa del Rey titles. The veteran striker has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving the club despite the speculation linking him to Saudi clubs.
What’s in Store for Lewandowski?
The former Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund star is likely to feature in Barcelona’s next pre-season game against South Korean side Daegu. After that, the Catalan giants will round off their warm-up fixtures against Como.
