AC Milan is eyeing a blockbuster free transfer from FC Barcelona, targeting a prolific star to ignite their Serie A ambitions.
The Serie A giants have already sounded out the player’s camp, with sporting director Igli Tare reportedly keen to offer a multi‑year deal that would allow the veteran star to finish his playing days at the top of European football.
Barcelona, in contrast, has only been willing to propose a one‑year extension with reduced wages, a package that has not yet been accepted, leaving the door open for clubs like Milan to sneak in on a cost‑free transfer next summer.
The Barcelona star AC Milan are targeting in a potential free move is Robert Lewandowski, the Polish No. 9, whose trophy‑laden spell at Camp Nou has made him a key figure in Hansi Flick’s attacking setup.
None of the interested parties has ruled out any option yet, but with Fabrizio Romano highlighting that numerous clubs are tracking the situation, Lewandowski’s decision in the coming weeks could determine whether his next chapter is written in Catalonia or in Milan.
The 38‑year‑old has already been linked to AC Milan for several months, with Laporta’s insistence on a short‑term, pay‑cut renewal clashing with Lewandowski’s desire to keep his options open.
AC Milan sees the ex‑Bayern striker as the ideal “last‑act” centre‑forward: a proven winner who can mentor younger attackers while still delivering goals in Serie A and Europe.
With Saudi and MLS clubs also watching from the sidelines, the race is now shaping into a two‑front battle—Barcelona’s emotional push for continuity versus Milan’s structured long‑term project.
For AC Milan, landing the Pole in this manner would be a low‑financial‑risk, high‑image move, reinforcing their status as a destination for elite veterans.
