"Polish striker Robert Lewandowski is apparently on the verge of leaving FC Barcelona . The Spanish newspaper Sport reports that the 37-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season and will not be renewed. The reasons for this are obvious: His advanced age, a noticeable decline in performance, and a lack of pressing make a contract extension unlikely, according to the report."
"Finally, Lewandowski directly addressed the situation, but said he feels great (aside of this recent muscle tear). "I'm not saying I'm a "victim" of my age, but... there are those who exploit that. I feel in excellent condition," said Lewandowski (as captured by Fabrizio Romano). "I don't expect to play 90 every match, and my view of football has changed a little, but when I'm on the field I know I can do great.""
Hansi Flick’s second season at FC Barcelona has been injury-hit with seven wins, one draw and two losses from ten games. Robert Lewandowski will miss time with a muscle tear. Reports say Barcelona likely will not renew his contract, citing age, declining performance, and limited pressing. The coming months will determine whether he stays or departs, as the club plans for an attack without him. Lewandowski says he feels excellent, accepts not playing 90 minutes every match, and believes he can still perform when on the field. Germany endured a tough 1-0 win over Northern Ireland in a match that was not dominant.
