Exclusive: Barcelona veteran expected to leave this summer despite Laporta's 'incalculable' respect towards him | Barca Universal
"Barça have relied on Robert Lewandowski as their main striker for the past three years, with Ferran Torres emerging as a serious alternative this time around. However, the veteran striker will be turning 38 next season and his contract expires in June, leading to question marks over his future. Now, according to exclusive information provided to Barça Universal by journalist Adrian Sanchez, Lewandowski is indeed expected to move on from the club in the summer."
"The 37-year-old veteran is a well-liked figure within the club and as per the information, Barcelona president Joan Laporta has 'incalculable' respect for him. Despite that, everything suggests that the Blaugrana are not going to extend his stay at the club beyond the ongoing campaign. Lewandowski's exit would open the doors for Barcelona to bring in a top striker, such as Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, although much would depend on whether they are back to the 1:1 Financial Fair Play rule."
FC Barcelona are preparing for next season with a clear focus on the centre-forward position. The club has relied on Robert Lewandowski as their main striker for three years, with Ferran Torres as a recent alternative. Lewandowski will be 38 next season and his contract expires in June, making his future uncertain. Lewandowski is expected to leave the club in the summer. Barcelona president Joan Laporta holds great respect for Lewandowski, but the club appears unlikely to extend his contract beyond this campaign. Lewandowski's exit would open the way to target a top striker such as Julian Alvarez, subject to Financial Fair Play constraints. A short-term extension on reduced terms remains possible.
