Barcelona Keep Door Open for Robert Lewandowskis Stay

Barcelona are no longer certain to part ways with Robert Lewandowski despite his contract running down and MLS-Saudi interest growing. At 37, he remains key under Hansi Flick, scoring 46 goals last season and netting in the Super Cup final vs Real Madrid. With 111 Barça goals and ten shy of the club’s all-time top 10, both sides will decide calmly later.

For the moment, Robert Lewandowski’s future at Barcelona is no longer headed toward a certain exit. At 37 and with his contract nearing expiration, he has long been linked with a summer departure to Major League Soccer or the Saudi Pro League. However, both the club and the player have agreed that no decision will be rushed. Barcelona want the season to unfold before defining their plans, while Lewandowski has emphasized that he will choose based on the club’s sporting project and his own feeling rather than outside pressure.

Despite rotation and the emergence of Ferran Torres in the striker role, Lewandowski continues to produce. He scored 46 goals across all competitions last season and has already reached double figures in the current campaign. His goal in the recent Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid highlighted his continued decisive ability, delicately beating Thibaut Courtois in a high stakes match. Inside the locker room, his leadership is also highly valued by younger talents such as Lamine Yamal.

Interest abroad remains active, with Chicago Fire among MLS clubs monitoring the situation and Saudi sides ready to invest heavily. Yet Barcelona acknowledge the difficulty of letting him go, especially with 111 goals already scored for the club and just ten more required to break into their all time top ten scorers.
