Barcelona Preparing Replacement for Robert Lewandowski

According to The Athletic, Robert Lewandowski’s future at Barcelona hangs in balance — his contract is set to expire in June 2026.

The Polish striker is currently 36 years old and will turn 37 this August — a factor that makes Barcelona reluctant to offer a contract extension.

Despite having one year left on his contract, Barcelona has not considered releasing Lewandowski in this summer’s transfer window — the club plans to keep him until his contract expires.

The Catalan giants have now begun searching for Lewandowski’s successor — their main target is a striker from a rival club in La Liga.
