"I am not afraid to finish my career because I am starting to prepare for it, to prepare things that I can do after football. I know that football is a very important part of my life, but it is not my whole life, especially now. When I was young I didn't think about this because I only had football, football and football in my head, but now I know that I'm very close to finishing my career."
"I don't know, one, two, three years, maybe four, I don't know, but I have no pressure. If one day I listen to my body and feel that something has changed, then I will be ready to finish my career. In Bayern, the mentality was different because we had more expert, harder players. When I joined Barcelona, I saw many young players who had to be tougher on themselves."
Robert Lewandowski will be out of contract at Barcelona in June and renewal negotiations have shown no progress. The club, concerned about his age at 37, has delayed a decision on extending his deal until later in the season. Lewandowski remains uncertain about his future and considers retirement a realistic possibility while preparing for life after football. He says he is not afraid to finish his career, that football is not his whole life now, and that he will listen to his body to decide when to stop. He also described adapting to a younger Barcelona dressing room and his role in teaching consistency.
