LUis Suarez’s contract renewal with the Herons appears to be on hold, while Miami are already preparing to persuade Robert Lewandowski not to renew his contract with the Catalan club. However, the possibility of acquiring a player of the Polish striker’s stature at zero cost is simply too attractive for a club looking for a proven striker who is in excellent physical condition, despite his age of 37.
Months before the end of his contract with Barcelona, the Polish striker’s name has started to be strongly linked with a move to Miami, a very attractive destination for a player several years into his career.

Lewandowski and Barcelona: the cycle is coming to an end
Robert Lewandowski is in the final year of his contract with Barcelona, and although the Polish striker is still showing his worth, his age is a major stumbling block to the Catalan club’s renewal policy. This situation led to multiple speculations about his departure at the end of the season.
From the Barcelona board’s perspective, parting ways with Lewandowski will free up a salary slot and accelerate the team’s renewal, led by young players such as Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Fermin López, Alejandro Balde and Pau Kvarsi.
And while Lewandowski’s 109 goals in 154 games is an enviable figure for a striker, Barcelona don’t seem to suffer too much without the Polish player on the pitch, which may be why they have decided to look to the future.
Inter Miami enters the race
It didn’t take long for rumors from Poland to spread. Former soccer player Marek Jozwiak said on the program Moka Futobol that he was already looking for a home in Miami, which sparked speculation and Inter Miami was named as the frontrunner to sign Lewandowski.
The Florida club wants to repeat the formula that has worked for them, surrounding Lionel Messi with experienced, European-winning players. Therefore, if Luis Suarez is released, Lewandowski would be the perfect replacement.
Lewandowski has proven to be very effective both as a lone striker and in a two-striker system, so Javier Mascherano’s coaching staff will have different tactical options. And for MLS, it will undoubtedly be another blow to the North American league’s international profile.
Where will Lewandowski play next season?
Inter Miami isn’t the only team interested. Lewandowski is also attracting interest from European clubs such as Milan, who still consider the Polish striker to be an addition to their forward line, and Milan may be interested in making an offer for Lewandowski. He is also being tempted by Saudi football, where he is likely to receive a significantly higher financial offer. However, the attractiveness of the sport, the quality of life and the possibility of playing alongside Messi will be the deciding factors.
