Lewandowski’s Future with Barcelona Clarifies: Prioritizing Stay Amid New Sporting Project

The path ahead for Robert Lewandowski with Barcelona is becoming clearer. While the striker prioritizes staying, he keenly awaits the unveiling of Barcelona’s new sporting project. The club is eager for him to continue, assuring him his current salary for the third year of the contract, making him the highest-paid player on the squad.

This season has not been an easy one for Lewandowski. Even the Polish national coach, Michal Probierz, mentioned the player’s feeling of “frustration” with Barcelona’s performance. Despite a challenging campaign, Lewandowski’s commitment to the club has never been in doubt. The Barcelona camp values his professionalism and outstanding physical condition. The club is keen on retaining him, respecting his decision whether to stay or consider other lucrative offers.

Lewandowski is currently leaning towards extending his stay with Barcelona, anticipating an exciting future with a potentially revamped squad. While his individual statistics may not match his Bayern records, his contributions to Barcelona—14 goals and 6 assists in 31 matches—have been crucial.

The Barcelona hierarchy maintains an excellent relationship with Lewandowski and his agent, Pini Zahavi. Whether he chooses to continue leading Barcelona’s attack or opts for a lucrative offer, the club will support his decision. Lewandowski’s arrival at Barcelona involved financial efforts and negotiations with Bayern, making him a significant and highly anticipated signing by President Laporta. Despite this not being his best season statistically, Lewandowski remains confident in his ability, expressing that he has at least three more years of high-level performance. With his impressive physical condition and consistent contributions, it seems increasingly likely that he will continue to lead the project for another year—should he wish to do so.
