"Robert Lewandowski faces a key start to 2026 in his professional career. At 37 years of age, the Polish striker is in his fourth season at FC Barcelona, with a major challenge ahead: trying to convince the sporting management to extend his contract. Lewandowski will be out of contract from 30 June, meaning that from 1 January he is free to negotiate with any other club. However, according to SPORT, his wish is to continue at Barcelona and regain the prominence he has lost this season following the emergence of Ferran Torres as the central striker."
"So far this term, the veteran has scored eight goals in La Liga, although he has not found the net for a month. Physical issues are becoming more frequent for him, and Hansi Flick is trying to manage the situation carefully. With the second half of the season set to get underway soon, Flick hopes that Lewandowski will step up in these matches and make the difference. Otherwise, his influence on the team would diminish further, and his departure from the club would become a much firmer consideration."
Robert Lewandowski, 37, enters a decisive six-month period as his Barcelona contract expires on 30 June and he may negotiate with other clubs from 1 January. Lewandowski wants to remain at Barcelona but has lost prominence to Ferran Torres and faces increasing physical issues. He has scored eight La Liga goals this term but has not scored for a month. Hansi Flick is managing his condition and expects improved performances in the second half of the season. Significant offers from MLS and Saudi Arabia exist, and Barcelona would need another central striker if he departs.
