Barca's Striker Plans: Lewandowski Out
3 Feb
Summary
- Barcelona will not renew Robert Lewandowski's contract.
- The club plans to sign a new striker and bolster defense.
- Lewandowski has a deadline in April to decide his next move.
Robert Lewandowski's tenure at Barcelona is reportedly nearing its end, with the club not planning to renew his contract which expires this season. This decision is part of a larger strategic shift, as Barcelona aims to sign a new central striker and reinforce their defensive line.
Despite a decrease in playing time, the 37-year-old Polish forward has scored 12 goals across 26 appearances this season. However, the club appears focused on developing a younger attacking core, often starting Ferran Torres in the central striker role.
Lewandowski joined Barcelona in 2022 for approximately €50 million, but with his contract winding down, he is free to negotiate with other clubs. Reports suggest he has set an April deadline to decide his future.
The club's financial health, including reaching Spain's 1:1 financial rule, is a key factor in these transfer plans. Barcelona needs around €12 million more to activate this rule, which would permit reinvestment from player sales and wage reductions.
