Robert Lewandowski Is Clear About His Future and Will Stay at Barça Until 2026, when he will turn 38 years old. Although his age might suggest a possible departure, the Polish forward feels in top form and wants to continue leading the culé attack. His current contract already ties him to the club until that date, but according to 'Diario Sport' yesterday, the board is even considering offering him a renewal until 2027.
Barça's Confidence in Lewandowski Is Total. Since his arrival in 2022, he has been the team's offensive reference and one of the top scorers in the squad. Although his influence on the game has varied over the years, he remains a decisive player.
Barça Already Thinks About the Future
However, the club is not blind to reality and is aware that Lewandowski is not eternal and that sooner or later they will have to look for a reliable replacement. Although his renewal until 2026 or even 2027 is in effect, the sports management led by Deco doesn't rule out signing a center forward in the short or medium term.
Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres Are the First on the List
Within the list that Barça has on their radar, the names that are most appealing are Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres. Alexander Isak, currently at Newcastle United, is at the best moment of his career and, with 19 goals so far this season, is already established. Gyökeres, meanwhile, is shining at Sporting Lisbon and has proven to be a lethal scorer in Portugal.
However, signing either of them would require a significant investment. Both Newcastle and Sporting have valued their stars at over 100 million, a figure difficult to assume. The board will have to assess whether they are willing to make an effort for any of these players or if they prefer to wait for a better opportunity.
Barça Would Have a Player Agreed for 2026
One of the most surprising pieces of information in recent days is that Barça might not sign any forward in the summer of 2025 and wait until 2026 for Haaland. According to 'El Nacional.cat', the Norwegian forward would have a release clause of 150 million in 2026, a figure that, although high, could be manageable.
Additionally, the same information indicates that Haaland would have conveyed to Barça that, should he leave Manchester City, his first option would be to wear the blaugrana jersey. This provides a ray of hope for the culé fans, who dream of seeing the Norwegian leading the team's attack. If this operation materializes, Barça could go from having a veteran Robert Lewandowski to having the best '9' in the world in their ranks in 2026.
