Barcelona forward, Robert Lewandowski has acknowledged the transfer rumblings happening in Saudi Arabia, but isn’t currently giving it much thought.
Karim Benzema, the former Real Madrid rival’s opposite number, has chosen to move to the Middle East over a one-year contract extension, and Chelsea’s World Cup-winning midfielder N’Golo Kante has joined his countrymen at Al-Ittihad.
Lewandowski has made it plain that, he will not be participating in a transfer trend that dates back to Cristiano Ronaldo’s transition to Al-Nassr in December 2022, which the Portuguese player claims to have begun.
Asked about recent interest from Saudi Arabia, the Poland international told Sport Interia (via Mundo Deportivo):
“There is no issue. So I don’t think about it, because why should I think about it if there is no issue?
“Especially because my contract [with Barca] still runs for a while. I see what is happening [in Saudi Arabia] but it doesn’t worry me, because I have other priorities at the moment.”
Indeed, Lewandowski still has three years left on his current deal, as the 34-year-old is eager to add to the La Liga and Supercopa double enjoyed during his first season in Catalunya.

Other players clearly don’t share such a sentiment, however, with the likes of Sergio Ramos, Angel Di Maria and Roberto Firmino linked with a switch to the Gulf state.
As many as four Pro League clubs are thought to be interested in Chelsea outcast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
