Despite Robert Lewandowski age, his performance for his team has been unwavering and fantastic. When he was to be signed, I knew his stay in that club won’t be for a long time considering his age and how many active year will be left for him to perform before he finally retires or go for a lesser competitive league in another club. This offers coming for him now shows that his days at Barcelona will be shortened and will not have an option very soon if he doesn’t leave to join another club when he’s still performing good and good offers are coming for him. Barcelona will soon look for a replacement for him, but before that he should weigh his option and make a decision as early as possible for a continued productive career before he finally retires.

I also doubt that Barcelona will let R.Lewandowski go if they don't find a suitable replacement. Because even though R. Lewandowski is 35 years old. But his abilities on the field really still exceed the young players that Barcelona currently has. Which means he still cannot be replaced at this time.

But the problem is that Arab clubs will not give up easily. And maybe in the transfer market next season these Arab clubs will be more aggressive in approaching R.Lewandowski with a higher offer.

I've been following the Lewandowski story closely. Despite being older, he's a great player. The man is performing well at Barcelona, with João's assistance. Barcelona may be seeing money because they have money issues. Since there's no clear substitute, I don't think they'll let him leave. Lewy? Other top players have accepted Saudi agreements. He makes good decisions and is talented

Everyone is free to give his opinion but as things are going and mostly clubs are spending huge funds I feel this is not rigged because they are trying to have fair competitive matches with top four are near at same level on quality and performance which is good and things will be clear in coming days as well we have improved quality, and they are surely going to spend big in coming years as well for the improvement of quality and performance which mean things are fair not rigged.

Saudi League organizers are doing good job Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal could be in competition for the win of title but in presence of few other top clubs it's not easy to have things easy because we have Al Ahli and Al Ettifaq as well which are trying their best for the win.

Saudi clubs attempts to bring important big names over to their league inother to gain more attention and concentration, they did that this summer and also focuses on doing another spree of signings important players over. Though numerous players turned down their offer because they are keen on winning significant titles in European football. Barcelona have such of these talents sighted by Saudi clubs, Robert Lewandowski onced turned down these offers, because he's ambitious to play for the team he craved so much for all these years, Barcelona. He won't throw all this away after not achieving significant titles with his new team, rather he will fight for his position and earned the deserved accolades.

Saudi will not able to get him till his contract will be running out in barcelona. It's caused by xavi still sees him as a potential striker even though lewandowski is aged now but it's not a problem at all since lewandowski still has some years remaining at this moment in barcelona.
I think that if the chance for him to go to the saudi pro league is pretty small caused by he prefers to stay at barcelona till his contract will expire. The possibility is very low for him to go to the saudi pro league.
I think that if saudi has no chance to get him even though lewandowski was old enough at this moment as a striker.

Al Hilal having good advantage against Al Shabab with they lost only one game from last ten and won five which is clearly indicating there is no competition between these two clubs and recent investment create good difference of quality Neymar Jr missed penalty create some hype but at the end we have two goals with Koulibaly and Metrovic done good job and bring their team at the top of league table.

There is too much talk about Neymar and his future at this club Al Hilal which spend huge amount for bringing him to this club most chances things could be normal because this league is not competitive like we have in UEFA, so he can give more playing time without any serious injury, but good thing is they have no long contract which will help Al Hilal in case of any problem right now they are working on few other options as well which will be clear in 2024 transfer window.

My estimates for this match were actually a little off. Because I favored Al-Ettifaq in that match. Because although Al-Ettifaq did not buy as many European players as Al-Ahli did. But Al-Ettifaq's performance has always been very good.

I like the strategy used by S. Gerrard which makes the pattern of play shown more similar to the pattern of European football. Jordan Henderson, who is the captain at Al-Ettifaq, is also always able to provide important support in every match played by Al-Ettifaq.

But I think the draw is quite fair. Because both teams show equal strength. But I agree about Firminho who has not shown his sharpness again in several matches. But if Firminho can restore his sharpness then I think Al-Ahli will win this match. Unfortunately Firminho has not returned to his best performance.

AL Ahli has not been very good in the last 4 matches without a win. Now we can see the inconsistency of the game from the AL Ahli team which is experiencing a decline. maybe after this they should really plan to get winning points. they just returned this season after last season's relegation with a bad performance. Of course they don't want to perform badly again and want to stay in the SPL with a fairly strong position in the standings.
maybe to compete for trophies they will have difficulty. but to be in the middle of the table I think they can maintain it.

Maybe next season that will really happen, but of course he, as a pretty good player, will only accept offers from clubs that have the opportunity to keep him getting the title there, so the consideration is not only about the salary he will get but also achievements, because at least that's what he always does get when playing for two big clubs in Europe, and clubs from the Saudi pro league that have quite good achievements are the four clubs under the auspices of the Public Investment Fund.

The Al Ahli vs Ettifaq match ended goalless, Al Ahli wasted the opportunity to get full points, and even though they managed to take many shots unfortunately only three were on target but that was not enough for them to score and neither did the visiting team.

But he's willing to join Barcelona means he's not really looking to earn big amount of money, joining Europa league seems hard because they're always looking to sign a young player. Maybe Italia league seems to be a good option, he can join Inter since they lack of striker.

Sorry mate, I was joking about that

Al Nassr is one of big team in Saudi Pro League before Ronaldo comes, so that's why they're most likely will finish in the top 5 positions in every season.

recruiting Lewandowski is a very good decision to get a player who is a bit old but still has very good performance and can still be used effectively as a forward in one of the SPL teams later. of course there will be many who agree here and have the same opinion because Barcelona financial situation is also not good, they definitely need more money and prefer to keep young players from academics and later when the transfer market opens I am sure the team from the SPL will definitely make a very big offer. big to redeem Lewandowski and this opportunity should not be missed because for me Xavi should prefer to keep young players selling old players to get younger and more talented players. but I can not confirm which SPL team will make an offer to Lewandowski.

He is a very competitive striker for Barcelona so it is unlikely that this season or next season Barcelona will release Lewandowski to play with the Saudi team but when Lewandowski performance has decreased significantly maybe Barcelona will immediately release him but I am not sure whether the Saudi team will be there interested in Lewandowski because he is getting older and his performance has declined.
In fact when they really want to make a profit Barcelona must immediately release Lewandowski and look for a replacement for another young player because this is a rare time when a Saudi team makes a large nominal offer for a player who is quite old.
But it comes back to Barcelona management whether they want to make some profit from the sale of Lewandowski or instead keep him as a player they can rely on.

Maybe Barcelona will really need money but if Lewandowski is still effective in attack then I think Barceloja will even extend his contract at Barcelona. But all that will depend on his performance this season. And so far Lewandowski is still very good. Especially after the arrival of the Joao duo, Lewandowski received support to become more productive in the attack line.

In the transfer market yesterday, Lewandowski said that he was comfortable at Barcelona. And not thinking about moving to the SPL or MLS. But I think several other top players who are now in the Arab league have also said similar things to Lewandowski but in the end they moved to the Arab league. So it is possible that Lewandowski will also follow the top European players to the Arab league. Whether it's next season or the season after that.

But until now I haven't seen who can replace Lewandowski at Barcelona. So Barcelona must first prepare if Lewandowski suddenly leaves. But to be honest, I think the Arab League will be even more lively and interesting if Lewandowski also goes there.

In my opinion, the Saudi Arabian team is very interested in recruiting Lewandowksi, because even at his old age he is still quite productive in scoring goals. Even a big name can make a team more famous if the Saudi Arabian team can really recruit Lewandowksi in the winter transfer window. Currently, Lewandowksi is still quite comfortable with Barcelona, ​​even Xavi always gives a lot of praise for his impressive performance.

By looking at Lewandowksi's big role with Barcelona, ​​I am sure Barcelona will not let go of their best star in the winter transfer window. But seeing as Barcelona's financial side has not improved, of course something could happen in the future, I mean if the offer on the table is big enough, Barcelona will probably accept it. But if Barcelona releases Lewandokwsi I think it will be difficult for them to find a sticker who is truly productive in scoring goals.

Robert Lewandowski without doubt has been very instrumental at Barcelona since he arrived the club from Bayern Munich in the summer of the summer of 2022 and even helped the club to win the Spanish La Liga in his first season with the Catalan club.
That being said, I think at his current age, Lewandowski will likely be moving to the Saudi Arabian League if he gets a good offer from a Saudi club. Not many players at his age rejects offers from Saudi clubs knowing fully well that the Saudi clubs are very good with their inviting financial packages.

Al-Ahli vs Al-Ettifaq.

This match, according to what I predicted in the previous post. even though Al-Ahli is superior in this match, both in terms of player depth, being the home team and at the same time based on the odds held by the home team. Unfortunately, the home team was unable to win this match. One of the main factors for me is that Firmino seems to be having problems scoring goals in match after match. After making his debut, he looked very convincing by scoring a hat-trick. but after that, Firmino seemed to lose his sharpness. Even though he didn't play badly in this match, the fact is that he was unable to give his squad a win.
I think Mattihias Jaissle has to find a way to break his team's deadlock. if necessary, he can change the system. or, rotate some of the players to find the ideal formula. If it continues like this, Al-Ahli will have difficulty entering the top 4 of the Saudi Pro League standings.

Meanwhile, Al-Ettifaq provided fairly balanced resistance. Even though they only had a total of 4 shots, they had 3 big chances. It's only natural that Steven Gerrard's squad has difficulty penetrating their opponent's defense line. because in terms of players, the two teams have quite a gap. As for Moussa Dembele, he underperformed. As a result, the match ended 0-0, and both teams had to be willing to share the points.

I think that firstly, Lewandowski continues to show modest performance for a top team striker in La Liga. Secondly, the likelihood that Barcelona will fall under the destructive consequences of a trial related to the bribery of judges is already high enough to take this into account. Accordingly, in Lewandowski’s place, moving to a tournament with fewer requirements and fewer risks would be quite reasonable.

Lewandowski despite his age is still very good as a player, so I think he could easily be offered a contract by some European team. If money is not the most important thing for him, then it is unlikely that he will agree to move to Saudi Arabia. By the way it may not come to next summer, if fraud charges are brought against former Barcelona directors, the team could go bankrupt and disappear, so the players will be disbanded

Actually it's a good idea to release Lewandowski but not for this season because Barcelona still needs this player in attack and we also understand that Barcelona will not hold Lewandowski for the long term it's just that we don't know whether Lewandowski is interested in moving to the Saudi Pro League in the next 2 seasons. Lewandowski's market value continues to decline in every season we can check it on transfermarkt.com and Barcelona certainly does not want to lose the potential of profits when releasing it
