Barcelona president Joan Laporta has expressed his wish for Robert Lewandowski to remain at the club for an additional season. Although the striker's contract, who will turn 38 in the summer, runs until 2026, no decision about his future has been made yet.
Laporta praised Lewandowski's remarkable skills and goal-scoring ability, as well as his significant efforts during a challenging transfer period. The striker joined Barcelona at a difficult time and put in considerable work to make the move happen. As a sign of appreciation, the president is prepared to offer him another season extension.
While Lewandowski is no longer guaranteed a starting spot this season, he has still scored 14 goals in 33 appearances across all competitions, underlining his importance to the squad. The final decision on the contract extension largely depends on the player's own plans.
Laporta's stance indicates that the club values Lewandowski's experience and skill despite his age and team competition. Retaining such a player means maintaining attacking strength and team balance for the upcoming season.
