Barcelona lean toward Lewandowski exit as pace drops

Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)
October 2025

Barcelona are increasingly likely to part ways with Lewandowski at season end rather than renew. Age and pressing limitations drive the call. The club are scouting replacements with Levante’s Karl Etta Eyong viewed as competition for Ferran Torres after a fast La Liga start.
Plan hinges on preserving team intensity in Hansi Flick’s front line while transitioning responsibly. Lewandowski is open to options but not Saudi Arabia. If Eyong sustains form he strengthens the internal case to reshape the nine role without a blockbuster fee.
