Robert Lewandowski has made his decision for the upcoming season. There have been many rumors about the Polish striker, but he has no doubts.
Under contract with FC Barcelona until 2026, Robert Lewandowski is immune to the allure of Saudi Arabian football. Although his departure could help FC Barcelona improve its economy and wage bill, the Polish player is clear that he still has a long way to go in Barcelona.
Asked about Robert Lewandowski’s presence at FC Barcelona, Xavi emphasized the Polish player’s importance to the squad:
“Considering he is a natural leader, who works hard, wants to improve, and is a phenomenal footballer for us in great form. I told him that the other day (against Atlético) was one of his best matches at Barca. He is vital for our interests,” he said, according to Fichajes.
Although this season hasn’t been as productive in terms of goals (he has 20 goals and 9 assists in 39 matches compared to 33 goals and 8 assists in 46 matches last year), the Polish player is having a great 2024, being crucial for Barca’s aspirations in Europe, which will largely depend on the striker’s accuracy against PSG.
Lewandowski doesn’t want to leave Barça
Linked with a possible multimillion-dollar transfer to Saudi Arabia that would boost the striker’s bank accounts, Lewandowski has a clear stance. As SPORT indicates, the former Bayern Munich player does not want a golden retirement, thus he opts to continue at the forefront of Barcelona’s attack.
A decision that has Barcelona’s support, which does not consider signing another attacking star after the arrival of Vitor Roque. In this sense, with a contract until 2026, Barcelona wants ‘Tigrinho’ to have more influence in the starting eleven from the next season, with the dream of Erling Haaland alive for 2025 or 2026.
