🔚 It’s official, Robert Lewandowski confirms he’s leaving Barça this summer | 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 spell 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 on."

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

The striker also did not 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 gratitude for the board: "A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the opportunity to live the most incredible chapter of my career."

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