Robert Lewandowski has been surrounded by numerous rumors in recent weeks. He has had several multimillion-dollar offers from Saudi Arabia on the table, but the decision has already been made: he will stay at Barça. Since he reached the minimum number of matches set in his contract, it has been automatically renewed until 2026, for just one more year.
The Polish footballer wanted to quickly put an end to any hint of doubt that might exist, publicly confirming that he will not leave FC Barcelona. In statements to Sport Bild, he was clear about it: "I've won more than 30 titles in my career. But I'm ready for more. Definitely, I'll stay here next season. Right now, I only have Barcelona on my mind."
Lewandowski: Biological age of 30 years
There has been no doubt at Barça about his renewal. The starting striker is Lewandowski and he will continue to be next season. Although he is about to turn 37 years old, he recently underwent some tests that determined his biological age is 30 years old. In this interview, he confirmed it himself: "I feel very strong. Now I have six or seven weeks of vacation and I'll recover completely. Currently, my biological age is 30 years old. I think that's not so bad, it matches how I feel."
In fewer than 150 matches wearing the Barça jersey, Robert Lewandowski has achieved some very impressive numbers. He reached 100 goals in the last match of the season and is ready to keep adding more next campaign. "At some point, it'll be about what my heart and my head say," the FC Barcelona footballer concluded.
No doubts: Lewandowski stays at Barça
Robert Lewandowski has shown, once again, that he is a striker for the ages. The Polish forward has been essential for FC Barcelona under Hansi Flick to deliver an unforgettable season, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. His impact in attack has been devastating, being the offensive leader the club needed.
In total, Lewandowski has played 52 official matches this season, achieving spectacular numbers: 42 goals and 3 assists. Beyond the numbers, his intelligence in the box, his ability to pin down defenders, and his experience have been decisive in the key moments of the campaign.
With a valid contract and full trust from Flick and the sporting management, there are no doubts: Lewandowski will be Barça's starting '9' next season. The club values his professionalism, his commitment, and his role in the locker room as a consolidated leader.
Despite past rumors about a possible departure, Lewandowski has replied on the field and now also off it. At 36 years old, he remains an elite goal scorer and one of the great references in European soccer. Barça, with him up front, aims to keep making history.
