After successfully attracting many European stars, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be still not satisfied and is continuing to influence Al Nassr’s transfer policy. According to sources from Spain, CR7 has directly asked the club’s leadership to recruit Robert Lewandowski.
Ronaldo believes that adding a world-class striker, a proven ‘killer’ like Lewandowski, is essential to elevate Al Nassr and compete for trophies. This request reflects the Portuguese superstar’s relentless ambition and his growing influence at the Saudi Arabian club.

🤔 Lewandowski and the “crossroads” at Barcelona The call from Al Nassr comes at a particularly delicate time for Lewandowski. Although his contract with Barcelona runs until June 2026, his status at Camp Nou is changing dramatically under coach Hansi Flick. The German tactician prefers a more fluid, mobile attack that relies less on a fixed ‘number 9’. This goes against Lewandowski’s traditional style of play. At 37 (he’ll turn 38 in 2026), combined with recent injuries, the Polish striker’s role has been reduced. While still respected, he is no longer central to Flick’s plans.
The Context Has Changed: A Second Chance for Al Nassr?
This is not the first time Al Nassr has approached Lewandowski. Last summer, they made a million-dollar offer but he rejected it. However, the current situation is completely different. Not being a central figure at Barca could make Lewandowski reconsider.
In addition, the presence of his former Barcelona teammate, Inigo Martinez, at Al Nassr could also be a motivating factor. A new environment, less pressure, attractive remuneration and the chance to reunite with old acquaintances could be a prospect that is strong enough to change his decision.

💰 Barca’s economic and strategic problems
Barcelona, on the other hand, are also facing a problem that needs to be solved. Although Lewandowski is still a top striker with over 100 goals and a Pichichi trophy, his high salary is a burden in the context of the club’s need to rejuvenate and restructure its finances.
Selling Lewandowski next summer (rather than letting him leave for free in 2026) could bring in a significant transfer fee, while also freeing up wage bills to invest in longer-term targets like Julian Alvarez.
This potential deal is not just a story about two superstars, but also a cross-section of personal ambition, club strategy and the rising financial power of the Saudi Pro League.
