This summer is anticipated to be bustling in Catalonia, as Barcelona faces the need for a significant overhaul to balance their finances. Among those potentially on the chopping block is Lewandowski, as per reports from The Athletic, with senior club figures advocating for his departure.
Lewandowski made the switch from Bayern Munich to Barcelona in 2022 for a fee of €50 million (£42.6m/$53.4m). Despite clinching the Pichichi in his debut season for Barcelona, his performance has since declined. Presently, he shares third place in the race for Spain’s golden boot, while Barcelona’s hopes of retaining the La Liga title have dwindled.
The Polish striker has been firm in his stance that he has no intention of leaving the club at the end of the season, stating, “Leaving Barca this summer is definitely not possible, it’s not a topic. I physically feel good. This is the case for at least two more years. When I’m physically no longer at a top level, I’d start thinking.”
Despite Lewandowski’s assurances, his fate may not entirely be in his control. Barcelona’s upcoming fixture is a La Liga encounter with Girona this Saturday, where victory over their local rivals could secure them a second-place finish in the league.
