Robert Lewandowski Is Once Again the Lethal Striker of His First Season at Barça. After a past season with ups and downs, the arrival of Hansi Flick to the Barça bench has been key to his recovery. The German coach, with whom he already coincided at Bayern Munich, has known how to fully exploit the Polish player's qualities, restoring his confidence and prominence in the Barça attack.
Lewandowski's numbers this season say it all: 35 goals in all competitions, his best record since wearing the Barça jersey. With Flick, Barça has enhanced its offensive play, which has allowed Lewandowski to receive more balls in key positions.
He Will Stay at Barça
Despite rumors about his future, Lewandowski has a contract with Barça until 2026 and his intention is to fulfill it. At 36 years old, the Polish striker feels in full physical and mental condition, and he trusts he will continue performing at the highest level. From the player's camp, they assure that he has no intention of moving and that his family is completely settled in Barcelona.
Barça also counts on him. Although the management is working on rejuvenating the squad, the club considers that Lewandowski remains a key piece. His experience, leadership, and scoring ability make him a player who continues to be essential, and in Flick's plans, the Polish player remains the starting '9'.
Lewandowski Could Be the Surprise of the Summer
However, speculation about the striker's future continues. According to "El Nacional," Lewandowski could become one of the big surprises of the transfer market this summer. In Saudi Arabia, they remain very alert to his situation and would be willing to make him a multimillion-dollar offer to convince him.
The figures being handled from Saudi Arabia are astronomical and they have already tempted other great players in the past. Although for now, Lewandowski maintains his commitment to Barça, in the world of soccer everything can change quickly if an irresistible offer arrives. If the Saudi clubs insist and put a colossal contract on the table, the Polish striker and Barça could reconsider their future.
Barça Would Go for Alexander Isak
If Lewandowski finally decided to leave the club, Barça would go for Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker from Newcastle is one of the names most liked by the Barça management and would be the chosen one to lead the attack.
His signing, however, would not be easy, as Newcastle would ask for more than 100M. Even so, if Lewandowski leaves, Barça would strongly bet on the Swede to be their new '9'.
