What happened
Robert Lewandowski told Fabrizio Romano he has not decided his next step, saying "I don't know what I'm going to do yet." The 37-year-old striker added that a move to a "lower-level league" is on the table because he still feels strong physically. He says he will listen to a few more offers before choosing.
Why it matters
Lewandowski's contract situation is one of the summer's biggest forward-line dominoes, and an openness to a non-elite league reframes his market beyond the usual European powers. Agent Pini Zahavi's recent Milan trip exploring Lewandowski and Alaba moves already signaled the camp is canvassing options. His decision shapes Barcelona's attacking rebuild and the recruitment plans of any club hoping to land a proven goalscorer.
What to watch
Watch for which clubs formally table offers and whether Barcelona move to extend or replace him. Any concrete bid from outside the top-five leagues would confirm the lower-league scenario is real.
