A new theory has emerged from Poland on where Lewandowski could end up, with one journalist claiming he could follow in Luis Suarez's footsteps and swap Barca for Atletico. Reporter Mateusz Święcicki has said: "Milan are a probability, but I have a theory and that is that Lewandowski is going to play a season at Atletico Madrid. He can have success with Sorloth and Atletico have already signed David Villa or Luis Suárez before."
The 37-year-old has returned from international duty with Poland with a muscle tear and will miss the next four weeks, according to multiple reports. Lewandowski will therefore sit out games against Girona and Olympiacos in the coming week as well as El Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26th. The veteran is also expected to be sidelines for the matches against Elche, Club Brugge and Celta Vigo.
Take the 2024-25 season, for example, where he scored 42 goals across all competitions, including 27 in La Liga, showcasing his remarkable consistency. His scoring ability remains unmatched within the current Barcelona squad, offering a strong advantage in tight matches where experience and composure are key. Beyond his goals, Lewandowski brings leadership on and off the pitch, mentoring younger players and instilling a winning mentality that is essential in a team with several emerging stars.
"I knew I'd scored the goals, but Thomas Muller pushed me to the fans after the game and I was like, 'Why?' OK, we won and I scored the goals, but I didn't think I'd done something historic," Lewandowski shared in the interview. "During those nine minutes, I think I was somewhere else; I didn't think about how many minutes it took, or how many goals I scored.
Lamine is so young, he can enjoy the life. He has to enjoy the life because everything, not only in football, but outside of it, is in front of him. Of course, that will be also a tough moment for him, how to handle it, all things around him. For sure, that will be not easy but he has to also enjoy everything.
