For several months now, the Saudis have been determined to use football as a means of development, and have been increasing their offers to attract European players. After Benzema, Kante, Mendy, Neves and Ziyech, to name but a few, it was Robert Lewandowski's turn to be approached by Saudi Arabia.
While some have agreed to join the Saudi League, few have categorically refused the millions of euros offered by the Gulf state. Well, Lewandowski can now boast that he was one of those who did. He reportedly said no to an offer of €150 million per season.
The 34-year-old striker is very happy at Barcelona, where he joined last summer from Bayern Munich for €45 million, and has no plans to leave during the summer transfer window, intending to stay in Spain.
In his first season in Spain, Lewandowski finished as La Liga's top scorer with a total of 23 goals. Thanks to his 33 goals and 8 assists in 46 games played in all competitions, he was one of the main reasons why Xavi's side won the league title.
