Lewandowski’s future points to Barça. Robert Lewandowski (Warsaw, 21-8-1988), who will turn 37 this summer, is still one of the most outstanding players in Europe and his contributions to F.C. Barcelona are vital to the team. His good work makes him an undisputed part of Hansi Flick’s starting eleven, something that will lead to an extension of his contract in the near future.
Lewandowski’s renewal could help when it comes to finding a replacement for him. And the fact is that the contract extension could help to prorate his contract, that is to say, the amount to be received between 2026 and 2027 would be distributed between the two seasons, something that would help the club to have greater ‘fair play’.
In recent days, the Polish striker has once again been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia such as Al Hilal and Al-Ahly, as he was in the summer of 2024. His agent, however, once again shut the door. In a statement to 365Scores, Zahavi denied any possibility. “Talk of offers from the Saudi League is not true, we have not received any official offers and no Saudi club has contacted us regarding the player”.
The agent stressed that ‘Lewandowski is happy in Barcelona and will continue with the team one hundred percent next season’, referring to the latest negotiations. ‘We have a contract with the club and we respect it until the end’.
That Robert Lewandowski is enjoying a second youth this season with FC Barcelona is an objective and indisputable fact. If he manages to finish Pichichi this season, at the age of 36 years, 9 months and three days he would become the second oldest footballer in history to finish as top scorer in a Spanish league season. He will also be the third oldest player in history to finish as top scorer in the major leagues.
Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid striker, took advantage of the postponement of Barcelona’s game against Osasuna to cut the lead of Poland’s Robert Lewandowski in the scoring charts. The Frenchman scored against Rayo Vallecano (2-1) and now has eighteen goals in the league tournament, three less than ‘Lewy’.
