Robert Lewandowski rejected an offer worth €200 million in January because he wanted to remain at Barcelona, according to his agent, Pini Zahavi. The claim suggests the veteran striker chose continuity at the club over a hugely lucrative move elsewhere.

Zahavi also said Barcelona president Joan Laporta wanted Lewandowski to stay for another season. That points to a shared position between the player and the club leadership, with both sides reportedly open to continuing their relationship rather than pursuing a departure.

The comments add fresh context to ongoing discussion around Lewandowski’s future at Barcelona. Even with outside interest and a massive financial proposal on the table, the forward is said to have prioritized staying in Catalonia.

If Zahavi’s account reflects the situation accurately, it underlines how strongly Lewandowski felt about extending his time at Barcelona. It also reinforces the idea that, at least from the player’s camp and the president’s side, there was clear support for him remaining with the team.
