Revealed: Robert Lewandowski not one of Barcelona's three 'untouchable' players with some senior officials in favour of putting star striker on transfer list

It is expected to be a busy summer in Catalonia, will Barca needing to undergo a significant clearout to balance the books. And Lewandowski is among those who could be moved on, with senior club officials advocating for his sale, according to The Athletic.

Lewandowski moved from Bayern Munich to Barcelona in 2022, the Blaugrana shelling out €50 million (£42.6m/$53.4m) for his services. After winning the Pichichi in his first season for Barca, his form has dropped off. He is currently tied for third in the hunt for Spain's golden boot, and the Blaugrana's hopes of defending the La Liga crown have disintegrated.

The Polish striker has made it clear that he has no plans to leave the club after the season: "Leaving Barca this summer is definitely not possible, it’s not a topic. I physically feel good. This is the case for at least two more years. When I’m physically no longer at a top level, I’d start thinking."

The striker insists that he will still be playing in Catalonia come August - but the decision may be out of his hands. Barca's next fixture is a La Liga clash with Girona this Saturday, where they can secure a second-placed finish in the league with a win over their local rivals.
