Renewal or goodbye? FC Barcelona decides Lewandowski's future

The FC Barcelona initiated the 'renewal operation' several weeks ago. After extending the contracts of key figures like Ronald Araujo, Pedri, Gavi, and Pau Cubarsí, the sporting management of the club aims to secure the stay of other key pieces of Hansi Flick's project, with Robert Lewandowski being one of them.

The Polish player, unless a catastrophe prevents him from reaching 55% of the matches stipulated in his contract to automatically extend it for another season, has his continuity practically guaranteed until 2026. However, the newspaper 'SPORT' claims that the Catalans will offer to extend his link with the club for two more years, until June 2027.

This formula would also allow the blue and garnet entity to spread the forward's commitment, distributing his earnings over the remaining two seasons and giving the institution greater salary margin. This new contract would also include a series of bonuses based on objectives or matches played and a release clause from both the club and the player himself in the summer of 2026.

The relationship between both parties is excellent and it is expected that the agreement will be closed without too many problems, with the player showing himself extremely excited about the project being built under Flick's orders.

Barça gains margin in the search for the future '9'

The renewal of 'Lewy' is strategic since, in addition to considering that the center of the attack is well covered with the culé '9', in Can Barça they believe that, as of today, there are not many real alternatives in the market. Players like Alexander Isak or Erling Haaland have a very high price, so the Pole is a guarantee in the position while they find their ideal replacement.

The Catalans have confirmed that Robert's 36 years of age do not influence his performance in the slightest, with the scorer fighting hand in hand for the Golden Boot and leading the race for the Pichichi of LaLiga. For that reason, in the City of Barcelona, they have decided to bet on the stay of a Lewandowski who has proven to be more than capable of continuing to lead the blaugrana offense for at least a couple more seasons.
