Mateusz Borek points Robert Lewandowski towards Como

Mateusz Borek has suggested Robert Lewandowski had other options when choosing his next club, arguing the striker did not necessarily need to move to the United States. In Borek’s view, one of the most attractive alternatives would have been Como, while he also referenced a club in Poland.

Borek revisits Lewandowski’s decision

The discussion centres on what Borek says he is seeing during MLS matches involving Lewandowski. That has prompted the broadcaster to look back at the moment the Poland forward selected his new destination and to question whether a move to the United States was the only logical path.

According to Borek, it was not. He believes Lewandowski could have remained in a more familiar European environment and still found a compelling sporting project.

Como presented as a serious alternative

Borek specifically pointed to Como as a club that could have suited Lewandowski. His argument was based on two elements: the chance to work under a coach he clearly rates, and the possibility of competing in the Champions League.

That framing presents Como not simply as a lifestyle move or a late-career stop, but as a destination Borek sees as offering both ambition and a high-level football setting. It is a notable assessment given Lewandowski’s standing and the expectations that always surround decisions at this stage of an elite striker’s career.

A Polish option also mentioned

Borek did not stop at Como. He also mentioned a Polish club as part of the conversation around where Lewandowski might have gone instead. The source material does not identify that team, but its inclusion underlines Borek’s broader point: there were alternatives beyond a flight to the United States.

For Lewandowski, any club decision naturally attracts attention, particularly when it involves the closing phase of a career that has been defined by elite standards. Borek’s comments tap into that wider debate about whether established stars should prioritise a new environment abroad or continue chasing major sporting objectives closer to the top of the European game.

The wider debate around elite forwards

Even in brief form, Borek’s remarks speak to a familiar football question. When a striker of Lewandowski’s profile weighs up his future, the discussion rarely concerns only geography. It also becomes a conversation about competitive level, coaching, and the kind of project that best matches a player’s legacy.

In Borek’s reading, Lewandowski still had a route that could have kept him connected to the Champions League while placing him under a coach he admired. Whether that view gains wider support, it adds another layer to the ongoing scrutiny that follows every major decision involving one of Poland’s most prominent footballers.
