Mansion Sports – The future of Robert Lewandowski at FC Barcelona remains a major topic of discussion as his current contract approaches its final three months.

Barcelona is now reportedly willing to offer a one-year contract extension to the veteran striker to keep him at the club beyond 2026.

However, this proposal fully depends on the willingness of the Polish star to accept a significant salary reduction.

Barca’s Plan for the Veteran Striker

Barcelona has formulated a clear plan for Lewandowski as his contract is set to expire on June 30.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Catalan giants are very open to retaining the striker by offering a one-year extension to provide stability in the center-forward position.

The club is balancing his contributions on the field with their sensitive financial condition.

Although he now has a slightly more secondary role, he has still managed to score 16 goals and provide three assists in 37 appearances across all competitions this season, proving that his quality remains intact.

Financial Conditions for the Extension

Romano stated that Barca’s offer comes with an important condition regarding his salary. Since joining from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022 for a transfer fee of €45 million,

Lewandowski has been an outstanding investment with 117 goals and 23 assists in 184 appearances.

However, the 37-year-old is currently one of the highest-paid players at the club.

The management believes that a salary reduction is essential for the contract extension to make sense from a business perspective.

Interest from MLS and Saudi Arabia

Romano also confirmed that Lewandowski has attracted interest from various other parties. He wrote in an update on Instagram: “European clubs, Saudi clubs, and especially MLS teams have made contact with Lewandowski’s camp — all proposals will follow if Robert decides to start a new chapter.” Lewandowski has not yet confirmed where he plans to play next season.

What Happens Next?

The decision now lies entirely in the hands of the Poland national team captain as he considers the final years of his illustrious career.

He must determine whether to accept a salary cut to remain at the club or seek a new adventure.

For now, he remains fully committed to Barca and hopes to feature in the upcoming La Liga match against Atletico Madrid.
