A number of Barcelona players are expected to leave the club during the upcoming summer transfer window, and one notable name is Robert Lewandowski. The Polish forward’s contract ends in June, and although attempts have been made to extend his stay by another year, he is currently weighing his options.
One potential opportunity for Lewandowski is a transfer to Italy. Inter Milan has expressed interest, and more recently, his agent Pini Zahavi has discussed a move to Juventus, where he would be targeted as their main striker for the 2026-27 season.

If Lewandowski were to join either Inter or Juventus, he would likely play a key role, which could be appealing given that Barcelona is currently planning to use him as a backup striker next season. When asked about the possibility of transferring to Inter or Juventus during a charity livestream with Latwogang (via Sport), his response was cryptic.
“You know what? We’ll talk soon.”
Lewandowski Must Accept Significant Wage Reduction to Remain at Barcelona
In addition to taking on a diminished role, Lewandowski has been notified that he can only remain at Barcelona if he agrees to a substantial pay cut. The Catalan club needs to create flexibility in their wage structure to accommodate new signings like Alessandro Bastoni or Julian Alvarez this summer.

It will be intriguing to see how Lewandowski’s situation evolves in the next few months. It is anticipated that he will reach a decision before the end of the domestic season, allowing Barcelona time to strategize for his potential departure. However, if he chooses to stay, it could spell trouble for Ferran Torres, who might be sold as a result.
