Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski continues to dominate headlines at the club, having once again shown his critical influence during the team’s 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad.
The 37-year-old Polish striker has already netted four goals in six league appearances this season, despite starting only twice due to minor injuries, demonstrating that his sharpness remains undiminished.
Following a remarkable 42-goal campaign last season, Lewandowski has rejected lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, signalling his desire to continue his journey in Catalonia. His current contract expires in June, but the veteran forward is determined to secure an additional year, insisting on earning his extension on merit.
The decision now lies with Barcelona’s management.
Financial limitations make retaining Lewandowski a sensible choice, as the club would struggle to attract a striker of similar calibre.
However, upcoming presidential elections could alter priorities, with some candidates promising high-profile signings. Deco’s position remains unclear, leaving Lewandowski’s ongoing performances as a potential deciding factor.
Supporters are divided over the matter. While some advocate for a new striker to rejuvenate the squad—Julian Alvarez is frequently mentioned—others value Lewandowski’s proven quality and leadership.
Coach Hansi Flick will also influence the decision, making the coming months pivotal for both Barcelona’s attacking future and the final chapter of Lewandowski’s illustrious career.
