"The club knows that Robert is waiting for FC Barcelona but they are doing everything possible to convince Lewandowski. The club and its coach, Gregg Berhalter, see Robert as more than just a player: he would be the true ambassador of a project that should turn the Chicago Fire into a superclub. We have to take into account that in 2028 the club will open a new stadium."
"They have already commented on it, I don't think Saudi Arabia is the best place for the Lewandowskis in terms of quality of life," he said. "As for the rest of Europe, Robert will not return to Germany, nor would he continue in Spain if not at Barcelona, Luis Enrique is opting for another profile of players at PSG and in England I am not convinced that the biggest clubs have a place for him. The only possible destination would be Italy."
Lewandowski is in the final months of his contract and is being targeted by MLS clubs and teams in Saudi Arabia for next season. His top priority is to remain at FC Barcelona, and an offer from Barcelona would end transfer discussion. Chicago Fire sees Lewandowski as a potential ambassador for a long-term project, including a new stadium planned for 2028, and is offering support for his wife’s professional development. Saudi Arabia is viewed as less suitable for the Lewandowskis’ quality of life. If not Barcelona or MLS, Italy is the only realistic European destination mentioned. Barcelona could offer a contract extension if Lewandowski accepts a pay cut, with a decision expected later this season.
