Robert Lewandowski has officially confirmed he will leave FC Barcelona at the end of this season. The Polish striker shared the news on social media, ending months of speculation about his future.

In his statement, Lewandowski said he felt his “mission is complete” after four years at the Camp Nou. He won three league titles during his spell with the Catalan giants. The former Bayern Munich star also thanked club president Joan Laporta and the supporters for their backing.
The 2022 signing scored 119 goals in 191 matches for Barcelona. He will have the chance to say goodbye to fans during Sunday’s final home game against Real Betis.
Lewandowski arrived in Spain from Bayern Munich and quickly became a key figure. His goals helped the club win major honours and return to the top of Spanish football.
