🔚 It's official: Robert Lewandowski confirms Barça exit at season's end | OneFootball

Polish striker Robert Lewandowski has officially confirmed his departure from FC Barcelona. After four seasons wearing the blaugrana shirt, the forward has decided to bring his time at the Catalan club to an end through an emotional statement on his social media: "After four years full of challenges and hard work, it is time to move forward."

In his farewell message, Barça’s number 9 says he is leaving with the satisfaction of a job well done. "I’m leaving with the feeling that I fulfilled my mission. 4 seasons, 3 titles," the footballer said proudly, recalling the trophies won that helped the club return to where it belongs.

The striker did not want to forget the fans, highlighting the affection he received from day one and stating that "Catalonia is my place in the world." He also had words of thanks for the board: "Special thanks to President Laporta for giving me the opportunity to live the most incredible chapter of my career."

Lewandowski’s departure, with which he closed his message with a heartfelt "Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya", now opens up a major question mark in Barça’s sporting plans. The technical staff will have to look for a reliable replacement in the transfer market to make up for the loss of their main attacking reference point in recent years.
