Lewandowski also re-iterated this desire to remain at Barcelona for as long as possible. He has no intention of heading to Saudi Arabia, nor the MLS.

“Before the coronavirus pandemic, the idea of MLS was firmly in my head, but somehow I changed my mind afterwards. After the Barcelona chapter, it’s hard to imagine going there.”
