"Carlos Monfort of SPORT now reports that a high-level meeting between Pini Zahavi, Lewandowski's agent, and Barcelona president Joan Laporta took place last Saturday. The meeting, which lasted around two hours, was held in the presidential suite of one of Barcelona's most prestigious hotels to avoid outside attention. Zahavi conveyed Lewandowski's intentions to Laporta - that the forward intends to remain at the club for one more year."
"However, Lewandowski's future will not be decided in a hurry, as Barcelona consider it too early to make a decision and not something to assess by Matchday 17 of La Liga. In addition, the Catalans need more time to analyse the market and identify the team's needs. Moreover, Barcelona prefer to wait to see how Lewandowski performs during the most decisive phase of the season."
Robert Lewandowski has only a few months left on his Barcelona contract and a one-year extension is being considered. The player reportedly would accept a reduced salary and a secondary role to stay. A high-level meeting between agent Pini Zahavi and president Joan Laporta lasted around two hours in a presidential suite, during which Zahavi conveyed Lewandowski's intention to remain for another year; family and business ties in Barcelona strengthen his desire to stay. Barcelona will delay a decision beyond Matchday 17 to analyse the market, assess team needs, and monitor Lewandowski’s performance during the season’s decisive phase, given his past prolific goal tallies.
