In case push comes to shove and Lewandowski is shown the exit door, he is not even contemplating the option of going to Saudi Arabia, like a lot of his peers at the same level.
He has reportedly already rejected offers triple his salary from the Middle East, and will likely maintain his stance in the upcoming transfer window, too.
