"Barça's recent set of performances have laid bare the club's lack of chance-taking ability in the final third, with the team desperately missing the presence of a poacher like Robert Lewandowski. The Polish veteran has been struggling with an injury in recent weeks, but has returned to play bit part roles in the last two matches. And with his contract expiring at the end of the season, his future has come into focus."
"But Barcelona will only consider a renewal if Lewandowski agrees to significantly lower his salary, perhaps to a point where he is no longer one of the club's top earners. This is the only way Barça see Lewandowski continuing at the club beyond 2026. Otherwise, the Catalans are ready to offload the Pole as they look to scour the market for a long-term replacement."
Barcelona's recent matches have exposed a shortage of chance-taking and a clear need for a clinical striker. Robert Lewandowski has missed time with injury, returned for minor roles in two matches, and faces contract expiry at season's end. The club respects Lewandowski and counts Joan Laporta among his supporters, but will only consider renewal if he accepts a substantial wage cut and drops from the club's top earners. If salary demands remain high, Barcelona plans to pursue a long-term replacement. Lewandowski has scored four goals in 11 matches and has often started on the bench.
