Robert Lewandowski has received a contract extension offer from FC Barcelona. His agent, Pini Zahavi, recently visited the Catalan capital to discuss the club’s proposal in detail, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Barcelona’s president-elect Joan Laporta had expressed his wish to keep the Polish striker for another season. Considering Lewandowski will turn 38 in August, the club is offering a one-year contract with a significant pay cut. Barcelona prioritizes signing a new striker and a left-footed central defender this summer.
Other interested parties include AC Milan, Juventus, Chicago Fire, and multiple Saudi Arabian clubs. However, Lewandowski’s priority remains staying at Barcelona, where he enjoys a comfortable family life. He is also willing to accept a reduced role if a top-level striker is ahead of him.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Lewandowski has set himself a deadline until the end of April to evaluate all offers with his family and make a final decision.
This decision is crucial for Barcelona’s attacking strategy next season. If Lewandowski stays, the team gains an experienced forward capable of supporting the attack even as a backup. Otherwise, the club must accelerate efforts to sign a new leading striker.
For fans, the Polish veteran’s choice signals the club’s priorities and prospects, as the striker’s role will greatly impact Barcelona’s performance in La Liga and European competitions.
