Robert Lewandowski to leave Barcelona with ‘mission complete’

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski announced he will leave the club this summer upon the expiry of his contract.

The veteran Polish forward, 37, scored 119 goals in 191 appearances across all competitions since joining from Bayern Munich in 2022.

He helped Barcelona win three La Liga titles, including the 2024-25 season trophy, and the Copa del Rey in 2025.

“After four years full of challenges and hard work, it’s time to move on,” Lewandowski said in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. Four seasons, three championships.”

Lewandowski arrived when Barcelona was at a financial low and struggling, helping restore the club to its former domestic dominance and Champions League contention.

“Barca is back where it belongs,” he added.

“I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days. Catalonia is my place on Earth.”

Lewandowski will play his final home game at Camp Nou on Sunday against Real Betis.

Reports indicate he has received offers from Saudi Arabia, Italy and the United States.
