Barcelona could offer top-scorer a contract extension – sources

Barcelona’s admiration for Robert Lewandowski continues to grow, with the club reportedly considering a contract extension beyond his current terms. 

Journalist Adrian Sanchez has told Barça Universal that Barcelona value Lewandowski’s impact so deeply that they might offer him an additional year on top of the time he is already likely to remain with the club. 

The possibility of an extended stay for Lewandowski speaks to his remarkable contribution on the field and his positive influence in the dressing room.

Lewandowski has been a history-maker since joining Barcelona. Recently, he made headlines by scoring Barça’s 700th goal in the UEFA Champions League, further solidifying his legacy at the club. 

This season, his performance has been nothing short of extraordinary, with 19 goals in just 16 appearances. His scoring streak has made him one of Barcelona’s most crucial players, and it’s clear why the club would consider extending his stay.

On track for meeting the conditions

To meet the conditions for an automatic renewal, Lewandowski must play in at least 55% of Barcelona’s matches this season. Not all appearances count, however; only those games where he either starts or plays at least 45 minutes will contribute to this requirement.

Given his current form, the club is optimistic that he will meet this condition, securing his place in the team for the next season. 

Absolutely no doubt

His value to the squad extends beyond goals, as his experience and leadership have made him a key figure in Barcelona’s lineup. Unless unforeseen injuries or issues arise, the general sentiment within Barcelona is positive about the prospect of keeping him around longer.

For Barcelona, extending Lewandowski’s contract would be a strategic move, ensuring that his expertise and goal-scoring ability remain a part of their game plan. 

If things continue as they are, Lewandowski’s time at Barcelona might well stretch beyond his current contract, marking another chapter in his storied career and giving the club more chances to celebrate his incredible talent.
