Robert Lewandowski’s future at FC Barcelona is at an important stage as the Catalan club are weighing whether to extend his contract beyond June 2026.
The Polish striker, who has scored four goals in nine appearances this season has continued to deliver in front of goal but questions reportedly persist over his ability to meet the physical intensity demanded by Hansi Flick’s pressing system.
Lewandowski is one of Europe’s most decorated forwards with over 600 career goals, yet Barcelona’s evolving structure now emphasizes pace and movement over a traditional center-forward role.
The Catalan club’s hierarchy has reportedly not ruled out parting ways before the end of his deal as they look to phase in younger and more adaptable attackers.
His representatives have reportedly begun exploring options across Europe as the striker considers whether to stay in La Liga or seek a new challenge abroad.
