Robert Lewandowski confirmed he will leave FC Barcelona at the end of the 2025-26 season after scoring 119 goals and winning three La Liga titles in four years.

Barcelona and Robert Lewandowski confirmed on Saturday (May 18) that the striker will leave the club at the end of the 2025-26 season.

The veteran Polish centre-forward, 37, netted 119 goals in 191 appearances for Barcelona across all competitions after joining from Bayern Munich in 2022. During his time at the club, Lewandowski helped Barcelona win three La Liga titles, including this season’s crown, as well as the Copa del Rey in 2025.

“After four years full of challenges and hard work, it’s time to move on. I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships. I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days. Catalonia is my place on earth," he wrote on social media.

“Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years. A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career. Barça is back where it belongs. Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️" he added.

Lewandowski will get the opportunity to bid farewell to Barca fans in the last game of the season at the Camp Nou stadium on Sunday against Real Betis. Coach Hansi Flick confirmed he will start, adding he is a ‘fantastic human, but also a world-class player’.

“He spoke with the team, said goodbye, and that it was a great time for him here in Barcelona," said Flick, who also coached Lewandowski at Bayern Munich. I’ve worked with Robert now for years, and we won together nine (trophies), all the titles I’ve won were with him. For me it’s a privilege to work with him. He’s a professional player… every day he gave the best with his body to be at the highest level. He’s a perfect role model for young players… this is why he’s still playing at this level.
