  • Uncertain future for Lewandowski as Barcelona hesitate over new deal

    It was recently reported that Barcelona are leaning towards letting the 37-year-old when his contract runs out at the end of the season, with no sign of the club offering him an extension. His agent, however, insists a decision on his future has not yet been made on the fate of the striker, who has scored 105 goals in 156 appearances since joining in 2022. While Lewandowski has been vital to Barca’s recent domestic success, his playing time has been reduced this season, sparking suggestions his importance to the Catalan club is waning.

    Agent Pini Zahavi denies decision has been made

    Speaking to 365Scores,Zahavi refused to commit to any outcome, saying: "Lewandowski's contract with Barcelona expires in the summer of 2026, and no decisions have been made yet. We'll have to wait and see what happens in the coming days." 

    His remarks have only fuelled speculation about a potential exit, especially amid rumours of interest from Saudi clubs.

  • Barcelona weigh next steps as striker succession plans begin

    The Catalan giants appear to be preparing for life beyond their star striker, with Ferran Torres adapting to a central role under Flick this season. Deco recently stated that Barcelona will not immediately pursue a replacement, yet names like Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez and Etta Eyong continue to surface in reports. 

    Zahavi, meanwhile, dismissed speculation linking his client to Saudi Arabia, insisting: "There's nothing official regarding negotiations with Saudi Arabian teams. There are no offers at this time."

  • Lewandowski hits back at critics and addresses age debate

    Speaking to TVP Sport after Poland's 2-0 win over Lithuania Lewandowski rejected claims that his age has limited his performance and said: "When someone looks for something negative about me, they always say that I'm old, that I can't run, that I don't feel like running, or that I don't work. That's nonsense. Just look at the distance I've covered and how much I've run, so it's not like that. Of course, I'm aware that at my age, playing fewer minutes could benefit me throughout the season."

    He added: “I don't want to say I'm a victim of my age, but there are people who know how to take advantage of it, but I feel very good. Obviously, I don't expect to play 90 minutes in every game. I'm still physically fit in training, I'm still excelling. It's not like I disappear in training, so in that sense, I feel like I still have a lot to give."

    Final stretch at Barca or another chapter ahead?

    As Lewandowski enters the twilight of his career, both he and Barcelona are assessing the future carefully. The Polish forward is reportedly content in Catalonia but aware this could be his last major contract. Saudi Arabia’s growing interest adds another layer to the uncertainty, with the club’s direction under Flick potentially determining whether Lewandowski stays or seeks a new challenge abroad.
