Honor over money: Both Riyadh giants have offered Lewandowski annual salaries exceeding 100 million euros, but the player only wants to stay at Barcelona.

For certain well-known footballers, prestige is more important than financial gain, and family matters more than money. Lewandowski, Poland's star player, fits this description. Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo recently reported that Lewandowski’s agent Zahavi confirmed the player declined two Saudi proposals exceeding 100 million euros annually, both from Riyadh’s leading teams, Al Hilal and Al Nassr.

It is reported that Al Hilal and Al Nassr are backing the Lewandowski transfer with investment funds, offering the 37-year-old Polish striker a massive salary package over 100 million euros plus performance bonuses. However, Lewandowski is determined to remain at Barcelona to pursue more championship titles. Additionally, his family is reluctant to relocate to Saudi Arabia due to difficulties adapting to the local customs and climate. Lewandowski regards Barcelona as his home, feeling comfortable and settled there, and is committed to giving his best for the team. He enjoys a harmonious relationship with coach Flick and his teammates.

Although Lewandowski is already 37, he remains highly effective. Last season, he appeared 52 times for Barcelona across all competitions, scoring 42 goals and providing 3 assists. This season, he has come off the bench twice in La Liga, totaling 26 minutes, as he continues to recover. He is still a vital member of the squad. Staying at Barcelona, Lewandowski will once again fight for La Liga and Champions League titles this season, choosing to compete for trophies rather than chasing wealth in the Saudi league.
