Milan market, Cristiano Ronaldo pops up to complicate the situation
A significant new obstacle looms for AC Milan in the race for Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker, who will not renew his contract with Barcelona, will leave the club on a zero-parameter basis in the summer of 2026. At 37 years old, the end of his Camp Nou adventure is approaching for him.
Atletico Madrid seemed to be in pole position to secure him before the option linked to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr popped up: the Portuguese’s presence in the Arab team is a factor and more than one footballer was convinced to say yes in order to be able to play alongside him. The former Bayern Munich man could be next.
Acc Milan market, a new name is circulating for after Mike Maignan
Who arrived at Barcelona to lead the offensive department, Lewandowski (who, it should not be forgotten, turned 37 last August) has seen his weight within the team now coached by Hansi Flick gradually decrease. However, his record in the blaugrana jersey remains remarkable: more than 100 official goals and a Pichichi Trophy won in La Liga. With the expiration of his contract just around the corner, even the automatic renewal clause until 2027 has gone on the back burner. The farewell between the parties is expected to be by mutual consent.
Atletico has already expressed a concrete interest in ‘Lewa’ with a plan similar to the one that brought Luis Suarez to Madrid: no price tag, but a big name with experience and flair for goal.
That coup was decisive for the Colchoneros to win the championship, and today the management dreams of replicating the success with Lewandowski. What’s more, his acclimatization in the red and white would not be a problem, since he already knows the La Liga perfectly well. But shuffling the cards have been CR7 and his charisma… and money from the Arabs.
