Barcelona are reportedly planning to part ways with veteran striker Robert Lewandowski when his current deal expires, as the club does not intend to offer the 37-year-old a contract extension beyond June 2026.
According to Sport, the Catalan giants have decided against renewing the Polish striker’s contract, meaning he could leave the club as a free agent after four years of service.
Lewandowski’s stats and contributions
Lewandowski has scored 105 goals in 156 appearances for Barcelona since joining from Bayern Munich, including four goals in seven La Liga matches this season.
However, the club’s management reportedly believes it is time to phase in a long-term successor, given Lewandowski’s age and reduced pressing intensity.
A major salary cap reduction for the 2025/26 season is also said to have influenced the decision, limiting sporting director Deco and coach Hansi Flick’s flexibility in retaining high-earning players.
