Despite his strong finish to the season at FC Barcelona in terms of scoring, doubts about Robert Lewandowski’s future have gradually emerged. The forward has clearly communicated his plans, and the club is aware of his desires, which his entourage is now leaking.
“If you’re going to take criticism, you have to understand if it comes from the coach… We really value Lewandowski and will decide his future at the end of the season.”
These remarks by Xavi Hernández in a press conference have once again left Robert Lewandowski’s future at FC Barcelona open to question.
Rumors have been swirling around the striker, who has an ongoing contract with the club and, despite scoring 21 goals and providing 9 assists in 42 matches, has left some doubts this season.
A transfer could relieve the club of his high salary and bring in funds, hence the speculation that the coach did not dismiss.
A firm idea
However, the player’s circle has now clearly expressed their position, as reported by El Larguero from Cadena SER.
The Polish striker wants to continue with his current squad, which would also find it challenging to find a market replacement who could match his performance, even though it hasn’t been decisive in key matches.
Thus, the striker’s desire appears firm, and his continuation is a fact unless there are drastic and unexpected decisions by the club.
Other sale options might be considered, and the 35-year-old scorer should remain under Xavi Hernández’s command for at least another season.
