"He arrived as a star and leaves as a legend. Over the past four years, he has been a huge help to the young players, quite apart from his quality and goals; he is a tremendous player, one of the best number 9s in history."
"He has taught this young squad a great deal; he is a role model, thanks to his professionalism, the way he looks after himself and the way he plays football. I wish him and his family all the very best from the bottom of my heart."
"We're going to focus on the end of LaLiga. We have a great technical director in Deco, and I am absolutely certain he will know what to do."
"Barcelona have their sights set on Chelsea striker Joao Pedro as the No. 1 target to replace Lewandowski, having all but ruled out a move for their former priority, Julian Alvarez of Atletico Madrid. However, any move would depend on the club's Financial Fair Play situation, and Yuste expressed total"
Robert Lewandowski will depart FC Barcelona when his contract expires at the end of the current season. The 37-year-old striker ends a four-year period in Catalonia marked by 119 goals and three La Liga titles, along with other trophies. Barcelona had considered extending his contract for another year with a reduced salary and a secondary role, but he chose a new challenge. Rafa Yuste, acting president until Joan Laporta takes office, praised Lewandowski’s professionalism, legacy, and mentorship of young players. Yuste expressed confidence in sporting director Deco for future attacking plans, while noting that any replacement targets depend on Financial Fair Play constraints.
