Barcelona discuss contract renewal of veteran forward amid MLS, Saudi Arabia offers
Barcelona discuss contract renewal of veteran forward amid MLS, Saudi Arabia offers The future of Robert Lewandowski is something worth keeping an eye on as we approach the final couple of months of the season. From a statistical point of view, Lewandowski is enduring his worst season at Barcelona. He has struggled with injuries during the start of the season, and his physical decline has been slightly evident.
However, he still remains a proactive frontman who can score at least 20 goals for the season even at the age of 37. And that is precisely why Joan Laporta is keen on extending his contract. Important meeting over Lewandowski’s future According to Fabrizio Romano , Laporta, in a recent meeting with agent Pini Zahavi, has discussed the renewal of Lewandowski’s contract, which expires at the end of the season.
The relationship between Laporta and Zahavi remains excellent and the club are considering the possibility of offering Lewandowski a one-year contract extension, although it might come with a significant salary reduction .

The Pole has received offers from clubs across the MLS and Saudi Arabia. He has so far resisted those offers and has shown a desire to continue at Barcelona. The final decision, therefore, rests entirely with the Pole as he looks to take the last step in his career.
Lewandowski will be 38 by the start of next season and would largely have to play second-fiddle, provided Barcelona manage to sign a new forward. But that is unlikely to deter the former Borussia Dortmund striker, who seems well-settled in Catalonia.
