Robert Lewandowski's future at Barcelona is looking increasingly uncertain, with reports suggesting the Polish striker is being pushed toward the exit door. As his contract winds down, the 36-year-old is being tipped for a move to Saudi Arabia or Major League Soccer—but the latest comments from a fellow countryman suggest his departure may not be entirely voluntary.
Poland legend and former goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski has delivered a scathing assessment of the situation, claiming Lewandowski has become an "unwanted player" at Camp Nou. In an interview with Super Express, Tomaszewski didn't hold back: "It seems Robert was forced to leave. It's clear that Robert is, how should I put it, an unwanted player, both by the players and by the Barcelona management."
Tomaszewski went on to predict that any offer from Barcelona to keep Lewandowski would be insulting. "I'm convinced that if he receives another offer to stay at Barcelona, it will be embarrassing. A player like that shouldn't allow himself to be dragged through that."
Perhaps most damning is the suggestion that Lewandowski has lost the support of his teammates on the pitch. "The players aren't really behind Robert when it comes to play, because they're not passing the ball to him the way they used to play him at Bayern Munich," Tomaszewski noted, drawing a stark contrast between the striker's current situation and his glory days in Germany.
This isn't the first time Tomaszewski has weighed in on the saga. Last month, he urged Lewandowski to "behave like a man" and made the bizarre claim that Barcelona manager Hansi Flick had "ruined" the team. With the veteran striker's future hanging in the balance, it's becoming clear that one of Europe's most lethal finishers may soon be looking for a new home—and a fresh start.
