Juventus eyeing free transfer for 37-year-old Lewandowski after Barcelona spell
Reports in Italy claim that Juventus are also among the list of clubs interested in a potential free transfer for 37-year-old centre-forward Robert Lewandowski once his contract with Barcelona expires at the end of the 2025-26 season.
Could Juventus rival Milan for Lewandowski signing?
Lewandowski has spent just shy of four years with Barcelona, having joined the LaLiga giants in a €50m deal from Bayern Munich during that summer transfer window.
He signed a four-year contract at the time, which is due to expire this summer, and though there is reportedly an option to extend the agreement by an additional 12 months, that option is unlikely to be exercised according to the latest reports from Tuttosport.
Tuttosport claims that Juventus are among the interested sides in Lewandowski approaching the summer transfer window. The Polish legend has also been linked with a potential move to Milan at various stages of the 2025-26 season, following the successful signing of veteran midfielder Luka Modric.
Tuttosport claims that Juventus director Damien Comolli is studying a potential deal and that he hopes to pull off a similar deal to the one that Milan achieved with Modric, potentially on a two-year contract.
The feeling is that like Modric, Lewandowski has the class and ability to make an immediate impact in Serie A despite his age, and with his experience, he would be a valuable addition to the senior members of the club’s dressing room.
The main obstacle for Juventus relates to salary, given that Lewandowski earns a reported €13m per season after tax on his current deal with Barcelona. That would make him comfortably the highest-paid player in Serie A, even higher than current Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. Juventus would need to convince Lewandowski to take some sort of pay cut in order to facilitate the move according to Tuttosport.
The Old Lady are not the only interested party either. Milan have already been mentioned and there is also plenty of interest from MLS as well according to Thursday’s report.
