It has been read and decided that Robert Lewandowski must find a new club to play for next season. – AC Milan is an option, as is Juventus, in Italy they don’t have the same negative age focus as you find in Spain.
Lewandowski shares his future plans – And he has already put his new conditions on the table, conditions that will change the thinking at Camp Nou.
Robert Lewandowski has made it clear that he is not considering quitting. At 37 years old, the attacker feels competitive and confident that he can contribute at the top level for at least two more seasons. Therefore, he has already expressed to FC Barcelona’s sporting director Deco his desire to extend his contract by one year, with an additional option of one year depending on his performance – a proposal that comes with a significant financial sacrifice.
Pole will be willing to reduce his salary to €10 million annually, well below the over €20 million he currently earns. This gesture reflects his commitment to the club and his intention to remain a significant figure in Hansi Flick’s project, a coach who especially values his work ethic and influence in the dressing room.
Beyond his achievements, Robert Lewandowski’s determination is also due to his desire to end his European career in a competitive manner. He believes he can still be the difference in crucial games and that his experience is crucial for a squad that combines youth and experience at a critical time in the season.
FC Barcelona’s role in the final decision
From FC Barcelona’s offices, the value of the attacker is recognized, even if the club’s financial situation requires careful consideration of each step. The salary reduction helps but does not completely solve the constraints imposed by LaLiga, which maintains strict control over the budget available for registering contracts with high salaries. In this context, the continuity of the attacker will require a readjustment of the sporting planning and probably an acceleration of pending operations.
Flick’s coaching staff believes that the experienced goalscorer’s presence facilitates the development of the young players who have gained importance in recent months. His ability to read the game, draw defenders and deliver in crucial moments remains a distinctive value. Therefore, the possibility of renewing him is not ruled out, even if it involves prioritizing his role and adjusting the club’s short-term financial plan.
Market movements and a clear priority
The player’s agents have already reached out to clubs from other leagues to gauge interest if Barça do not make progress in negotiations. Teams from MLS, Saudi Arabia and various projects in the Premier League have shown interest, tempted by his competitive advantage and media influence. However, the player himself has made it clear that his priority is to stay at Camp Nou, provided the club takes a firm stand in the coming weeks.

Flick’s perspective and the impact on LaLiga
Hansi Flick believes that an ambitious team needs players with high professional standards, and the Pole fits perfectly into that profile. His achievements in LaLiga remain remarkable despite natural wear and tear over the years, and his name is still associated with goals and offensive leadership. This combination, in such a demanding league, makes his continuity more than just a sentimental question.
Robert Lewandowski’s final challenge
Barça’s decision will be crucial for the striker’s near future. Lewy has already shown flexibility, commitment and a sincere willingness to remain attached to the club, while the board considers how to balance its sporting priorities with financial constraints. The Pole, for his part, wants to continue competing at the highest level, whether at Camp Nou or any other place that ensures his presence at the top.
Robert Lewandowski will no doubt remain a key player in the coming months, both on the pitch and in the transfer market, as he defines the final chapter of his professional career.
To put it briefly, Barcelona will be idiots if they say no to one of the world’s most consistent goalscorers and avoid spending hundreds of millions of euros on the eve of an economic crisis.
