According to the report, Lewandowski's form in the opening stages of the season has been impressive. After failing to live up to expectations last season, the Polish striker is gradually regaining the level he had at Bayern Munich and in his early days at Barcelona. His goalscoring stats prove that he is currently the best number nine in the world, scoring 19 goals in 17 games, allowing him to far outperform other top scorers such as Erling Haaland and Harry Kane in scoring efficiency.
Not only does Lewandowski feel very comfortable in the team, but he also adapts well to the city of Barcelona. Therefore, he hopes that his contract with Barcelona will be extended beyond the original period.
Lewandowski's contract with Barcelona expires in June 2025, however, his contract contains a clause that if he plays 50% of the games, he will automatically renew his contract for another year, Lewandowski is the absolute main force under Flick, and he has started all Barcelona games this season, so the extension of Lewandowski's contract until June 2026 is almost certain.
However, Lewandowski's ambitions don't stop there, as he remains in enviable physical form at the age of 36, and this year he shines new light under Flick. In this case, Lewandowski is not interested in the huge contract offer from Saudi Arabia, although they have tried to attract him this summer. Lewandowski wants to continue to stand at the top of world football, so he wants to renew his contract with Barcelona until 2027. If his wish comes true, he will be close to the age of 39 before ending his contract with Barca, which is a very rare situation at Barca.
If Lewandowski's performance figures at this time next year are similar to the current ones, the Barca hierarchy will be positive about renewing his contract. The club were very pleased with his performances on and off the pitch as his experience, leadership and maturity helped a lot in the dressing room full of young players. In addition, it will also give Barça's sporting department more time to find his successor and help the club recover financially for future big signings.
Although Lewandowski is expected to renew his contract, Deco and his team are still eyeing the centre-forward in the transfer market, as Lewandowski is older and there is no clear replacement in the team at the moment. With Haaland unable to sign due to a high fee, Barcelona are interested in bringing in Djekereish, a player who plays for Sporting de Portugal and is making a name for himself in European football. However, bringing in a top-tier No.9 like Dzhekereish has become quite complicated. The club believes that if they have two top centre-forwards in their squad, they will inevitably put one of them on the bench. In light of this, the alternative is Jonathan David, the Lille player who will leave on a free transfer at the end of the season and who has recently publicly expressed his desire for Barca.
