Two Serie A heavyweights hesitant about move for Barcelona forward – Romano With Pini Zahavi in Catalonia, the future of FC Barcelona veteran striker Robert Lewandowski is expected to be resolved in the coming days. The 37-year-old centre-forward has an offer to continue at Barça for another season, but on a lower salary and a reduced role in the team. Meanwhile, he is attracting strong interest from Chicago Fire in the MLS, who are offering him a huge contract worth €20 million per season .
In addition to that, Lewandowski is also being courted by Serie A giants AC Milan and Juventus , with Zahavi holding meetings with the clubs prior to his visit to Barcelona. Milan, Juventus having doubts about Lewandowski move However, now, according to Fabrizio Romano , both AC Milan and Juventus are hesitant to move forward with their interest in Lewandowski this summer. With regard to Milan, the journalist states that there is no total consensus within the club about signing the 37-year-old veteran star.

As for Juventus, who have reportedly offered a deal worth €6 million per year to Lewandowski, there is less and less enthusiasm about the transfer, with concerns about the striker’s age and the costs of the operation.
Romano also states that Inter Milan have no interest whatsoever in signing Lewandowski, as the Serie A champions are happy with their settled attacking unit. So, with Milan and Juventus hesitating, Lewandowski might miss out on the opportunity to secure a transfer to Italy in the summer. MLS remains a strong option, while clubs in Saudi Arabia have also presented Lewandowski with offers.
The idea of a continued stay at Barcelona is not ruled out either.
