Barcelona have reportedly paused contract renewal discussions with veteran striker Robert Lewandowski, as uncertainty grows around his future at Camp Nou, according to Marca.
The 37-year-old forward is currently in the final year of his deal, and while he remains keen to extend his stay in Catalonia, the club appears hesitant to commit. Barcelona officials are said to be weighing several factors — including Lewandowski’s age, recent fitness issues, and the club’s tight financial situation — before making any final decision.
Sources close to the situation suggest that the chances of the Polish international leaving next summer are now higher than those of him signing a new contract. Despite his significant impact since joining the club, many inside Barcelona believe the time has come to look toward a younger, long-term option in attack.
Coach Hansi Flick already has Ferran Torres available as a potential replacement, while the club is also reportedly monitoring Karl Etta Eyong, Dusan Vlahovic, Fisnik Asllani, and Julian Alvarez as possible transfer targets.
Lewandowski’s future continues to attract attention, with Marca noting that Atletico Madrid have shown interest in the striker. His agent, Pini Zahavi, recently stated that no final decision has been made and denied any approach from Saudi Arabian clubs.
