A huge sacrifice
Pini Zahavi confirmed. Agent Robert LewandowskiThe Polish forward would prefer to continue one more year in Barcelona, which was also wanted by the president of the club, Joan Laporta.
Zahavi said: In an interview given to the Spanish “Sport” newspaper.“You know Joan Laporta really loves Leva. He wanted Robert to play at Camp Nou for one more year. I spoke to him in December and he told me: “I want Robert to stay.”
The agent explained that the position of the president of the club does not correspond to the plans of the sports administration and the technical staff, because Laporta understood that he should not interfere with the work of Deco and Hansi Flick.
The player’s representative said: “They decide the composition of the team, and they could not guarantee Robert’s place in the starting line-up, which was more important to him than even the money.”
“You know him, he always wants to play and be a key element of the team. However, Deco and Flick had a different vision for Robert’s future at Barcelona and so at a certain point we started to explore other options.”
He continued. “Laporta told me. “Tell Robert we love him. He is part of our history and he is the man who saved Barcelona. Do you understand that? “Save Barcelona” is what he said.
Zahavi continued, explaining that these words will open the doors of the club to Lewandowski. “That’s why I believe that if he ever wants to work at Barcelona, he will find a place for himself there.”
Zahavi noted that the Polish forward had the option to leave Barcelona months before, as he revealed that he had received an offer from Saudi Arabia for two seasons in January, worth €100 million per season, but Lewandowski rejected the offer as his priority was to continue with the Catalan side.
The player’s agent said. “In January 2026, Robert had an offer on the table for two years, €100 million per season.”
He resolutely answered the question about the reason for the rejection. “Because he wanted to play in Barcelona.”
Zahavi noted that the Saudi version later lost its power after Roshan’s clubs changed their spending policies and the sums offered a year ago were no longer available.
Zahavi made contact with Al-Ittihad club as well as Qatari officials, but in the end he informed Lewandowski that this road was complicated.
