According to Mundo Deportivo, the chances of Robert Lewandowski transferring to Al-Ittihad are much higher than to Al-Hilal. The club considers Lewandowski as a potential replacement for Youssef En-Nesyri if his future is uncertain. If he moves to the Middle East, the 37-year-old could expect significant earnings, which is described as being especially tempting for him.

Saudi Arabia now appears to be a more likely destination for Lewandowski, with the country making a decisive push for him. Recent reports in Spain suggested that the Pole could earn up to €90 million per season in the Middle East. According to talkSPORT, Public Investment Fund-owned Al-Ittihad is currently one of the Saudi clubs showing the strongest interest in Lewandowski. Tom Bogert said that his sources had told him Saudi Arabia is making a very big push, and that one person in Europe thinks that is where he would end up. Bogert added, however, that it was all informed speculation.

Robert Lewandowski has been linked with a potential move to Saudi Arabian clubs like Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Nassr. Al-Qadisiyah is also a potential option, with a report indicating the Aramco-sponsored club is seeking a major star to attract fans. The striker joined Barcelona in July 2022 for a reported €45 million, and his current contract runs until June 2026.
