"The 37-year-old centre-forward has accepted a reduced role this season, with Hansi Flick counting on Ferran Torres more and more, but has continued to contribute in a significant way, creating a quandary for the club. The Blaugrana see that his performances remain good, that he continues to score goals and has accepted that he is no longer an undisputed starter."
"However, the issue is that he will turn 38 in August. His salary is very high and, even if it were reduced significantly, should he stay, it would still represent a major expense, particularly for a player increasingly affected by injuries. At the same time, it should also be noted that clubs in other countries, such as Saudi Arabia and the United States, would be willing to offer him a large salary."
"As such, MARCA reports that Barcelona do not want to make any definitive decision or statements over Lewandowski's future until the season is over. So, as things stand, Lewandowski's continuity is far from clear. The striker remains happy at Barcelona and would prefer staying at the club beyond the season. In case of a departure, Barcelona have already identified some top strikers as possible alternatives, including Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich ace Harry Kane."
FC Barcelona are delaying any definitive decision on Robert Lewandowski's contract until the end of the season. Lewandowski, 37, has accepted a reduced role while continuing to score and contribute, leaving the club uncertain. He will turn 38 in August and carries a very high salary, which even after a significant reduction would remain a major expense, especially given increasing injury issues. Clubs in Saudi Arabia and the United States could offer large wages. Lewandowski prefers to stay, but his continuity is unclear. Barcelona have identified possible replacements including Julian Alvarez and Harry Kane if he departs.
