As things stand, Lewandowski will remain Barcelona's starting striker for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons, although Sport says there are some at board level who would be open to the club retaining the Polish striker during would push the following seasons towards the exit. summer transfer window.
It's worth noting that Lewandowski will be 37 at the start of next season, so he can't be relied on to be a good starter week in and week out. Barcelona are aware of this, although finding a suitable successor will be difficult due to their well-documented financial problems.
