FC Porto is closely monitoring Robert Lewandowski’s situation and may move forward with a proposal to sign the Polish striker at the end of the season, a scenario supported by the player’s own admission that he is willing to leave Barcelona and potentially play in a less prominent league.
With his contract nearing its end and a departure from the Catalan club becoming increasingly likely, Lewandowski recently opened the door to a new destination by publicly stating that he could head to a championship outside Europe’s top five.
“There could be an option in a lower league. I am almost 38 years old, but I feel good physically, so I am considering that possibility,” the Polish forward declared, making it clear that he does not rule out such a move in the final stage of his career.
According to information gathered by PLATAFORMA, FC Porto is among the clubs attentive to this possibility, viewing the experienced goalscorer as a high-profile reinforcement for the offensive sector, despite the club’s strict financial constraints.

Potentially aiding FC Porto’s cause are Bednarek and Kiwior, who play alongside Lewandowski in the Polish national team.
However, any eventual move by the “Dragons” will depend on one essential condition: Lewandowski would have to accept a substantial reduction in his current salary, which is incompatible with the club’s budgetary reality. The Polish international further reinforced that he will evaluate all proposals with his family before making a decision.
“I will listen to a few more proposals and then decide what is best. You cannot separate your career from your personal life,” he stated.
Despite his age and recent physical limitations, Lewandowski emphasized that he intends to continue playing, keeping his future open and fueling the expectations of several European clubs outside the traditional elite.
