Barcelona has officially decided not to renew the contract of 37-year-old striker Robert Lewandowski, with the Polish legend set to leave Camp Nou when his current deal expires. The club’s decision stems from Lewandowski’s obvious form decline due to his advancing age, as well as his inability to consistently press opponents like his teammates. Now, Barça is fully focused on finding his replacement—signing a young striker and a right-back are top priorities for the team’s next season plan. Among potential replacements, the club prefers a youngster who can compete with Ferran Torres (rather than established players like Julián Álvarez), with Cameroonian striker Eyon of Levante already on their radar.
Lewandowski’s future remains uncertain: he may choose to join a new club to extend his career, but his family is more in favor of him retiring and settling in Catalonia. The only certainty is that Lewandowski refuses to move to the Saudi Pro League; previous rumors that "Barça would renew his contract before selling him to Saudi Arabia" have also been shelved due to extremely low feasibility.
