This Is Barcelona’s Offer to Renew Lewandowski’s Contract
The future of Robert Lewandowski at FC Barcelona is uncertain. His contract is entering its final stage, and although the club wants him to stay, there is a key factor complicating the renewal.
For Hansi Flick, the Polish striker remains an important player due to his leadership and quality. The coach wants to keep him, but the club’s financial situation forces tough decisions. The offer presented to Lewandowski does not maintain his current terms.
Offer and Financial Terms
If Lewandowski decides to stay, he would have to sign a new contract with a significant salary reduction—approximately half of what he currently earns. A proposal that, understandably, is not easy for the striker to accept.
However, Barcelona is offering an alternative formula: including performance bonuses. Variables such as goals, matches played, and objectives achieved could increase his earnings. Currently, Lewandowski earns around €30 million per season, one of the highest salaries in the squad, and the club needs to reduce the wage bill to comply with the 1:1 Financial Fair Play rule.
Role and Team Planning
The board’s idea is to keep the Polish striker in the team, even if a new forward arrives. The profile they are looking for would be longer-term and with different characteristics, so Lewandowski would continue to have an important role, serving as a reference and mentor for the new signing.
From the player’s side, no decision has been made yet. At 38, he continues to perform at a high level, and he will not lack offers in the market, which further complicates the negotiation.
Additionally, this move could have consequences for the squad. If he renews and a new forward arrives, players like Ferran Torres might leave to free up space.
Barcelona faces an important decision in its planning. For now, everything seems to depend on Lewandowski.
