Lewandowski weighs extension doubts as Barcelona delay contract decision

Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)
November 2025

With his deal up in June 2026, Lewandowski wants to stay but Barcelona have not committed to an extension or defined his role. Despite fewer minutes, he leads the club in La Liga scoring with seven, keeping pressure on decision-makers as planning intensifies. Internal debate pits guaranteed goals and leadership against freeing significant salary to fund a long-term No.9. Saudi offers hold little appeal; family preference is to remain in Barcelona. Outcome hinges on financial structure and sporting vision aligned before the final contract year.

Rashford fuels Barca surge with two assists at Balaídos

Marcus Rashford (Barcelona)

Barcelona beat Celta Vigo 4–2, with Rashford delivering two precise crosses for Lewandowski to complete his hat-trick. The Manchester United loanee drew a standing ovation and moved joint-top of La Liga’s assist chart on six, level with Getafe’s Luis Milla. Operating off the left, Rashford repeatedly isolated the full-back, then attacked the half-space to whip early service. His tempo shifts opened central lanes for Lewandowski’s near-post and penalty-spot runs, sustaining Barca pressure and trimming Real Madrid’s lead to three points.

Ratcliffe vetoes Lewandowski free transfer despite Amorim’s interest

Sir Jim Ratcliffe (Manchester United)
October 2025

Manchester United’s INEOS-led hierarchy blocked a proposed summer move for Robert Lewandowski, prioritising wage discipline and squad age profile over short-term star power. Despite Ruben Amorim’s openness to a veteran finisher, United will not match the £540k/week level the Pole commands. Past costly late-career deals inform the stance as United continue trimming their bill. United will pursue lower-salary, resale-viable forwards and accelerate academy pathways to protect cap table flexibility. Sporting rationale: preserve pressing intensity, dressing-room meritocracy, and minutes for recent arrivals. Financial rationale: amortisation headroom for priority positions and mid-term extensions. Barcelona’s leverage is limited near expiry; any Premier League suitors must structure heavy appearance-based variables.

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.

Lewandowski’s Super-Sub Role Sparks Criticism of Flick

Polish legend Robert Lewandowski has thrived as a super-sub under Hansi Flick, but ex-keeper Jan Tomaszewski slammed Barca’s coach for “criminal” misuse of a striker he insists should be leading the team to Champions League glory. Lewandowski’s late goal against Oviedo sealed a 3-1 win, adding to a brace versus Valencia. Despite his efficiency, Tomaszewski condemned Flick’s reliance on cameos instead of restoring Lewandowski as the focal point, accusing him of squandering world-class talent.

Barcelona Eye Kane as Short-Term Fix Before Haaland Pursuit

Barcelona are considering Harry Kane as a stopgap striker once Robert Lewandowski’s deal ends, while laying long-term groundwork for Erling Haaland. The England captain could be prised from Bayern, giving Barca breathing room to raise funds for Haaland’s eventual arrival. Lewandowski is set to leave at 37, forcing Barca to explore immediate firepower. Haaland remains locked to City until 2034, though the Catalans believe that pact can be broken. Signing Kane would steady them competitively while plotting a blockbuster Haaland swoop down the line.

Robert Lewandowski returned to Poland’s lineup in a 1-1 draw with Netherlands and dismissed claims his prior absence stemmed from a captaincy dispute, insisting the armband was “never a problem” and that his exile was exaggerated. The Barcelona striker explained tensions arose under ex-coach Michał Probierz, who handed the armband to Piotr Zielinski, prompting his temporary withdrawal. With Jan Urban taking over, Lewandowski was swiftly reinstated as captain, calling his return a fresh start and stressing unity over past controversy.
