He will see out his contract.
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has reportedly turned down the chance to leave the club in January and head to Saudi Arabia on a lucrative transfer.
Lewandowski is out of contract at the end of the season and there have been reports that his name was brought up by Al-Hilal during recent talks about a loan move for Joao Cancelo.
However, the 37-year-old has made it clear he has no intention of moving on mid-season and will see out his existing deal with Barcelona.
Lewandowsk is now in Saudi Arabia with the Barcelona squad, preparing for a Spanish Super Cup clash against Athletic Club.
Hansi Flick spoke about the veteran ahead of the game and his battle for a place in the starting XI with Ferran Torres.
“At a club like Barça, there are two top-level players in every position,” he told reporters.
“Ferran has done well and scored goals, but so has Robert. They both have a good attitude in training and when they’re on the bench. Lewy scored the second goal in the derby. That’s what I want to see. Everyone has to give their best for the team.”
Lewandowski was only a substitute last time out against Espanyol but came off the bench to score Barcelona’s second goal and will be hoping he’s back in the starting XI on Wednesday night.
