Polish footballer Robert Lewandowski has confirmed that the current season will be his last in the colors of Spanish club Barcelona. The 37-year-old striker helped the club secure three league titles, an equal number of Spanish Super Cups, and one Spanish Cup during his four years there.

"After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on. I'm leaving with the feeling that the mission is accomplished. Four seasons, three championship titles. Barcelona is back where it belongs," Lewandowski was quoted by AFP. He played 191 competitive matches for Barcelona, scoring 119 goals.

Several European clubs are interested in the Polish international's services, with rumors also circulating about interest from Saudi Arabia or the USA. Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid is expected to replace the Pole in attack.
