FC Barcelona has dispelled any doubts about the future of Robert Lewandowski, a key figure who has reaffirmed his relevance at the highest level. A year after stating that he still had "three or four years" of performance at the elite level, Lewandowski has confirmed his words with an outstanding performance this season, with figures that reaffirm his role as the team's top scorer.
At the Blaugrana club, there is tranquility regarding the '9' position, and the board practically assumes that Lewandowski will activate the optional year of his contract, thus postponing the need to seek a high-profile replacement. Under Flick's guidance, the Polish striker has shone again, being the offensive reference of the team in an environment designed to maximize his abilities, a synergy that Lewandowski did not experience in Xavi Hernandez's last stage. The relationship with the former coach had been strained, especially regarding Xavi's doubts about his starting spot, but with Flick, the goal scorer has regained his best form and sealed his commitment to the project.
Lewandowski Would Be Willing to Take a Pay Cut
The Polish player's contract has a flexible structure that facilitates his stay, and Lewandowski would not mind adjusting his salary if he extends his stay at Camp Nou, as reported by Sport. With 37 years on the horizon, the forward remains confident in extending his career in Europe and at Barcelona, a place where his family feels fully integrated.
Looking ahead to the next season, the sports management plans to incorporate a forward who can occasionally relieve Lewandowski without compromising performance. Jonathan David, as a free agent, is an option under consideration, although any addition is approached thoughtfully. Lewandowski's presence has allowed Barcelona to postpone other alternatives, such as the potential signing of Haaland, projecting the Pole as the undisputed leader in the present and probably for at least a couple more years.
