The Spanish champions are reported to have offered the 37-year-old centre-forward a contract extension on reduced terms, but he rejected it after careful consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The 37-year-old now faces two options: a financially lucrative move to the USA or Saudi Arabia, or staying in Europe&#8217;s top tier. Juventus Turin and AC Milan have both been linked, yet neither club secured Champions League qualification. Should he prioritise Champions League football, both suitors are automatically ruled out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Portuguese champions FC Porto, who can offer him Champions League football, are also monitoring the situation. In addition, Manchester United have been linked with the Poland international. The third-placed side from last season&#8217;s Premier League will return to the Champions League next term, and Lewandowski has history with the Red Devils. In 2024 he told Ferdinand, on the latter&#8217;s YouTube channel, that he had already agreed to join United in 2012, only for Borussia Dortmund to block the move. Two years later he signed for Bayern Munich.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until mid-May, it was uncertain whether Lewandowski would depart Bar\u00e7a when his contract expired at the end of June or&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-manchester-united"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
