RENEWED! Robert Lewandowski secures his stay at FC Barcelona for one more year

Upon his arrival at FC Barcelona from Bayern Munich, Robert Lewandowski signed a four-season contract, which included a clause allowing the club to terminate the last year of his commitment if he did not play a minimum of 55% of the matches for at least 45 minutes in his third season.

However, at the Gran Canaria Stadium against UD Las Palmas, the striker eliminated this exit route, and now his future is entirely in his hands. With his starting position against the 'pío pío' team, the player reached the stipulated 55% participation in his contract, which, starting this Saturday, will now expire on June 30, 2026.

In the best-case scenario, the Catalans will play a total of 61 matches this season (38 in La Liga, 15 in Champions, six in Copa del Rey, and two in the Supercopa de España), meaning the player was required to play 45 minutes in at least 34 matches, a figure he achieved in the match against the Canarians. This mark was not difficult for 'Lewy' to reach, as he has only played less than 45 minutes in 4 of the 38 matches played by the Blaugranas this season (against Betis and Valencia in Copa and Mallorca and Valencia in La Liga).

Barça continues to count on Lewandowski for the future

Beyond what is stipulated in his contract, the reality is that at Can Barça they continue to plan their immediate future with Lewandowski in their ranks, and they have made this clear to the player. In fact, the newspaper 'SPORT' reported a few days ago that the club's intention is to offer him to extend his contract for two more years, until June 2027, which would allow them to prolong his commitment and give them time to find his replacement in the center of the attack.

The Catalans have confirmed that Robert's 36 years of age do not affect his performance in the slightest, with the striker scoring 32 goals in 35 matches, competing head-to-head for the Golden Boot and leading the race for the Pichichi of LaLiga. For this reason, in the Catalan capital, they have decided to bet on the stay of a 'Lewy' who has proven to be more than capable of continuing to lead the Blaugrana offense for at least a couple more seasons.

The player, for his part, is happy in the Catalan capital and his priority is to continue wearing the Blaugrana jersey for as long as possible, with the aim of lifting the sixth 'Orejona' for a team that breathes easy knowing they have the best '9' in the world in their ranks.
