Robert Lewandowski has confirmed his wish to continue his commitment to Barcelona even if it means lowering his wages and sitting on the bench, despite attention from teams in the Arab world and AC Milan.
The future of Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona is a topic of interest among fans as his contract is set to expire next summer. Although he is now 36 and no longer the main striker, the Polish forward still wants to stay with the Catalan club, willing to take a pay cut and accept a substitute role.
According to sports journalist Dominik Piechota, Lewandowski remains eager to stay at Camp Nou. He shared on the Jijantes channel: “We believe this could be Lewandowski’s final season. Milan and Arab clubs are very interested, but he wants to stay at Barcelona even if it means a significant salary reduction. Robert wants to prove he is still valuable as a substitute. He and his family are very happy here.”
Since Hansi Flick took charge, Lewandowski has not played as regularly as before, but he still manages to make an impact. After 8 La Liga matches this season, the former Bayern Munich star has scored 4 goals, an impressive rate for an older player sharing time with younger forwards.
However, whether Barcelona will extend Lewandowski’s contract remains uncertain. This decision depends on his performance for the rest of the season and the club’s financial difficulties. Barca is considering signing a young striker for the future, but finding the right replacement is not easy.
Meanwhile, Lewandowski continues to show professionalism and love for Barcelona. He accepts stepping back, taking on a leadership role for younger players and serving as a role model in the locker room.
If he maintains consistent form and a positive attitude, the Polish striker could easily be kept by Barca for another season as a symbol of experience, passion, and fighting spirit.
