Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Robert Lewandowski will leave Barcelona soon, but the door to Italy remains closed for now.
Lewandowski’s departure from Barcelona is set to occur in just a few weeks unless the situation changes. His current deal expires on June 30 and talks are at a standstill over extending it, and so the Pole will most likely leave the Catalan club for free this summer.

Several Arab and American MLS clubs have been linked given the financial power they have. FC Porto were the latest to come forward, while Milan have persistently been mentioned as they look for another centre-forward.
Too rich for their blood
Now, Fabrizio Romano has given the following update: “Robert Lewandowski and Barça, new deal talks are completely on stand-by and the summer exit is now very close.
“If there’s no fresh proposal, Lewandowski will leave as free agent. Saudi Pro League and MLS clubs on it, Italian clubs keen but too expensive. It’s highly unlikely to see him staying at this stage.”
There were reports recently claiming that there was an internal division among the Milan management regarding whether to go all-in for the former Dortmund man. Given the other uncertainties surrounding the club, it seems there are just too many roadblocks.
