Robert Lewandowski Has Indicated His Intention To Stay At Barcelona
Barcelona forward, Robert Lewandowski, has indicated his intention to stay with the La Liga club for the upcoming season. He expressed his desire to play a role in helping his team achieve success and win trophies.
Lewandowski made the switch from Bayern Munich to Barcelona in 2022 for a reported fee of approximately 43 million euros. The deal is scheduled to run until June 2026. During his time at the club, he played a key role in securing the league title last season and also contributed to their victory in the Spanish Super Cup.
In his debut season, the Polish striker finished as the league’s leading goal scorer, netting 23 goals. During Barcelona’s ongoing season without silverware, he has scored 18 goals.
There have been increased doubts surrounding Lewandowski’s continuation at the club, particularly following manager Xavi’s initial declaration of departure in January, which was later rescinded in April.
Barcelona is facing economic difficulties, challenges with a high wage bill, and a 1.6 billion euro renovation project at the Camp Nou stadium. These factors have heightened financial pressures on the club in the current season.
“Of course, for me, it is super clear. I want to win many titles with Barcelona and I am sure that next season we will be even stronger and we will also win titles,” Lewandowski told Mundo Deportivo on Wednesday when asked about rumors of a potential exit. I always want the best, not just for me, but for my teammates and I am sure that this team will win titles next season because I see what we do each day. For me, that is what matters because this is a club that I hold close to my heart and I want to give a lot for the team and the club.”
Xavi said earlier in May, “We value Robert’s presence in the team very much and we will decide on his future at the end of the season.”
Barcelona is second in La Liga, 12 points behind newly crowned champions Real Madrid. They face Sevilla in their final game of the season on Sunday.
