The FC Barcelona goes back to put in the air the continuity of Robert Lewandowski of face to the season 2024/2025. Although the player has manifested publicly that his intention is to fulfil his agreement, that extends until the 2026 (the last year is 'optional'), from the club do not have it entirely clear and has established a new debate on if it would have to follow or no.
The reasons that has the Catalan group to reopen the folder of Lewandowski are the same that have come commenting in the útimos months: His age, performance and, mainly, his wage. Some sector of the Barcelona club puts in value that will fulfil 36 years in August and that hardly go back to find his best version: In the past season was important, especially before the World-wide of Qatar, but in this course the 'bajón' has been significatuvo although it keeps like the maximum artilleryman of the team.
The Barça will keep a meeting with Pini Zahavi
The most important factor is the one of the wage of Lewandowski, the one who signed an ascending agreement when it arrived from the Bayern of Munich in 2022. During his first year, earned 20 million gross euros, whereas in this will perceive €26m. The big problem will be the 2024/2025, in which it corresponds him a wage of €32m, a very high figure and that, from some sectors of the club, understand that they do not correspond to the 'actuality' of the player.
In this sense, has opened a big debate that can leave important consequences. According to an information of the newspaper SPORT, in the next days will take place a meeting of the directors of the Barça with Pini Zahavi, big 'fellow' of the house and agent of Lewandowski. The contractual situation will be on the table and will look for to define the best alternative for the course that comes. All the stages will be on the table.
The options on the table of the Barça
The 'summit' will be key and will have to Xavi Hernández like one of the protagonists. He would be one of which supports the possible exit of 'Lewy' this summer, by two reasons: His age and the fact that if it goes out, would be saving an important wage that could serve for 'allanar' the way and contribute in the task that have the Catalans to reinforce his staff. Nico Williams is the first name that puts on the table like possible candidate to reinforce the attack.
Like this then , all the stages will be opened. The Barça is not by the work of 'throw' to Lewandowski this summer, but yes could plead for a sale if they give the conditions and wants to go out. If it does not give this opportunity, will put on the table the possibility that it recess his wage. It is the most likely option, taking in account that does so alone some days he aimed that "ofjar the Barça this summer is absolutely impossible for me, is not a subject to within of at least two years" and that "only will begin to think in going me when it seats that I no longer am in my best physical condition and seats pain. But I do not seat this now".
