Lewandowski and FC Barcelona have reached an agreement to extend their partnership

The old rocker has energy for a long time and Barça is eager to hear his music. Robert Lewandowski is having a very positive season, far from what his age theoretically dictates. He is 36 years old, but he is in optimal physical shape for elite football. So he is proving it on the pitch. The Polish striker has scored 31 goals and provided 3 assists in 34 games. He is just one goal away from equalling the goals he scored in his first year as a Blaugrana, with 13 fewer games. In this context, the Barça board wants to renew his contract for another year.

When the Varsovino arrived in Barcelona from Bayern for 45 million euros plus 5 in variables, he signed a contract until 2025, with one more season of an optional nature. This clause could be executed if the centre forward played more than half of the games for which he was available. Given that he is an undisputed starter for Flick and that the condition will be met, the Catalan club has offered him a renewal without waiting for the additional campaign to be activated. According to Mundo Deportivo, the agreement is closed between both parties for the extension of the link for another year.

The keys to the extension of Robert's contract

'Lewy' changed Munich for Barcelona in 2022. In addition to the challenge of returning the Blaugrana team to the throne it had lost, one of the reasons for the attacker to opt for this change of scenery is the city. Both he and his wife, Anna Lewandowska, and their two daughters live happily in the Catalan municipality. In fact, the player's wife has started several businesses in the city and, according to the aforementioned source, the couple plans to continue living in their usual residence when the forward leaves the world of football.

Robert is already 36 years old and, both he and Barça, know that he is living the twilight of his career. However, he wants to continue enjoying sport, scoring goals and winning titles alongside a golden generation. That is why the agreement for the renewal suits him like a glove. The extension of the contract will be for only one year, without another optional season. In this way, the club shows affection by offering him a renewal without the need for a clause to tie him to the entity for another year. The footballer, for his part, has family and sporting well-being in his union with the Barça team, so both parties have reached an agreement for the extension.
