Robert Lewandowski has cleared up all doubts about his future and has announced that he will continue for one more season at Barça. The Polish striker, at 36 years old, has decided to fulfill his contract, which ends in June 2026. Lewandowski's continuity represents a guarantee of goals and experience for Barça's new sports project.
There's no better way to justify this decision than with the numbers. Lewandowski has just completed his best season as a blaugrana, with a total of 44 goals across all competitions. Under Flick, the former Bayern player has regained his scoring touch and has shown that, despite his age, he is still one of the most lethal strikers.
Robert and Ferran for next season
Looking ahead to next season, Barça's attacking duo will be made up of Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. The Valencian has shown this season that he can perfectly play the role of center forward when the Polish striker needs to rest.
This combination gives Hansi Flick a valuable alternative to rotate his top scorer without losing offensive presence. The connection between the two has grown stronger over the months, and Ferran Torres is expected to take on an even more important role next season.
The club wants to sign an striker
Despite having the '9' positions covered with Lewandowski and Ferran, Barça is still scanning the market in search of an attacking reinforcement. The intention is to add one more piece to give the Polish striker a rest in key matches and to provide unpredictability. The name most favored by the sports management is Luis Díaz.
The Colombian has played as a center forward in several stretches of the season, in addition to his usual position as a winger. His speed, power, and finishing ability make him a very attractive option for Barça. However, signing him won't be easy, since he has a current contract with the 'reds' and his market value exceeds €80 million.
Lewandowski would accept
Despite the possible signing of Luis Díaz, Lewandowski doesn't see the Colombian's arrival as a threat. According to "El Nacional", the Polish striker is more mature than ever and has made it clear that the only thing that matters to him is that the team wins. His competitive mentality and experience allow him to understand that internal competition is positive for the group and necessary to win titles.
In fact, Lewandowski believes that bringing in a player like Luis Díaz could be key for Barça to make a qualitative leap. With a schedule packed with matches and the demand to compete at the highest level, the Polish striker has no problem sharing the spotlight.
