Manchester United urged to sign free‑agent striker Robert Lewandowski
Polish striker Robert Lewandowski confirmed he will leave Barcelona when his contract expires at the end of June, making him a free agent after four seasons in which he scored 119 goals and provided 24 assists as Barcelona won La Liga. Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand used the announcement to call on United to sign the 37‑year‑old, saying he could offer valuable experience and mentor young forward Benjamin Šeškó. Ferdinand posted on X: “What a guy, what a player! Experienced option next season in UCL & help with development of Šeškó.”
United would face competition for the veteran’s signature. Reported suitors include Saudi Pro League side Al‑Hilal, Serie A clubs AC Milan and Juventus, and MLS team Chicago Fire. The interest highlights the striker’s market value despite his age, and the potential impact his arrival could have on United’s attacking options for the upcoming season.
