The end for Lewandowski

Barcelona made the shock decision not to renew Robert Lewandowski's contract, allowing the striker to leave the club on a free transfer in the summer of 2026.

Lewandowski has no future at Barca.

According to sources from Sport , Barca's board of directors considered extending Lewandowski's contract to sell him to a club in Saudi Arabia next summer, but the Polish striker wanted to continue playing in Europe, causing the Catalan club's plan to fail.

Lewandowski's contract with Barcelona expires in the summer of 2026. At 37, Lewandowski has just had an impressive 2024/25 season, scoring 27 goals in La Liga and 42 goals in all competitions, just behind Kylian Mbappe in the race for the Golden Boot.

In the past three seasons with Barcelona, ​​Lewandowski scored a total of 101 goals in 147 matches. However, Barca's board of directors assessed that Lewandowski has passed the peak of his career. His high salary is also a burden, so the club will not renew the player.

To replace Lewandowski, Barcelona are looking for a younger and more economical option. The name mentioned is Etta Eyong, a young talent from Levante, who is expected to compete with Ferran Torres in the squad. This decision reflects Barca's long-term strategy, focusing on building a squad with potential young players to ensure financial sustainability and future competitiveness.
