Robert Lewandowski has cleared any doubts about his future and has already informed Barça that he will fulfill his contract until the end, that is, until June 2026. The Polish forward feels comfortable at the club, is fully adapted, and with Hansi Flick, his performance has reached an exceptional level. This season he has scored 35 goals across all competitions, figures that reinforce his decision to continue for at least one more campaign.
With Flick, Lewandowski has found a perfect harmony. The German's offensive style enhances his strengths, and the player feels strong and capable of continuing to be a key piece for Barça. The forward's continuity thus becomes one of the certainties on which next year's sports project will be built, providing stability to the blaugrana attack.
Change of Plans in the Forward Line
In this situation, Barça's sports management has had to readjust its plans for the summer market. Initially, the idea was to sign a top-level forward who could be Lewandowski's successor and even compete for the position immediately. However, with the confirmation that the Pole is staying, the club has decided to halt any high-cost operation for the '9' and redirect those resources to other positions.
Barça will not consider signing a consolidated star for the striker position. At most, they might consider bringing in a young player, with potential, who can learn alongside Lewandowski and take on more prominence in the future. In this profile fits, for example, Samu Omorodion, one of the options liked in the offices and who would fit in.
A Player Waits Until 2026 to Join Barça
In this context, the great desired by the technical secretariat, Alexander Isak, will have to wait. According to 'El Nacional', the Newcastle forward is aware of Barça's situation and would be willing to stay one more year in the Premier League to wait for his opportunity. Isak knows that right now he wouldn't have the starting role, but his desire is to play for Barça and he would be willing to wait a year until 2026.
The interest is mutual, but the current circumstances complicate it. Isak is having an excellent season in England, but he understands that his signing is not viable at this moment, both for sporting and economic reasons. The agreement could mature over time, as long as Barça maintains its interest and Lewandowski's contractual situation concludes.
Robert Lewandowski Will Remain in Charge of the Goals in 2025
Therefore, everything points to the next season, Robert Lewandowski will continue to be Barça's starting forward. His experience, his goal-scoring performance, and his commitment to the club make him the undisputed offensive reference for the coming season. The sports planning will be built around him, at least, for one more season.
